MIKKO KORTTILA TO RETIRE – TIINA KERTTULA APPOINTED GENERAL COUNSEL OF ALMA MEDIA 

Member of the group executive team Mikko Korttila (63), who is responsible for legal affairs, mergers and acquisitions and corporate development at Alma Media Group, has announced that he will retire from his current position in early 2027, as permitted under his executive service agreement. Korttila has held his current position since 2007. 

As of 1 January 2027, Tiina Kerttula (45) has been appointed as his successor. Kerttula has been employed by the Alma Media Group since 2011, most recently as Senior Legal Counsel, and prior to that, among other roles, as an Attorney-at-Law. The corporate planning function for which Mikko Korttila has been responsible will be transferred to Group Finance before year-end. 

“I would like to thank Mikko, on my own behalf and on behalf of the Group Executive Team, for the excellent cooperation over nearly two decades and for his significant contribution to Alma Media’s transformation from a traditional domestic media company into an international digital media and services company,” says Kai Telanne, President and CEO of Alma Media and continues: 

“At the same time, I am delighted that we are appointing Tiina Kerttula as the next General Counsel. Tiina has the strong experience and solid expertise in the relevant areas of law required for the role.” 

“Alma Media has offered me an extremely interesting and diverse professional challenge for almost twenty years. Through dozens of acquisitions, we have transformed the company from a media house into an international digital media, services and technology company operating in ten countries. With gratitude to my own team and all my colleagues, I hand over my area of responsibility to my successor with peace of mind,” says Mikko Korttila, General Counsel. 

“It is a pleasure to step into the role of General Counsel as Mikko’s successor. Alma Media is a strong and developing international company, and I look forward to continuing to support the Group’s business together with a highly competent team and management,” says Tiina Kerttula, Senior Legal Counsel.
