Andreas Mällinen Appointed as New CEO of Väriset Oy

The board of Väriset Oy has appointed Andreas Mällinen (pictured right) as the company’s new CEO.

Andreas Mällinen is moving to the CEO position from his role as Chief Operating Officer at Väriset Oy. He first joined the company in 2017. He served as Regional Manager of the Pirkanmaa regional company when its operations began in 2021. He will start in the CEO position on February 1, 2023.

“I thank the company’s board for this trust and accept the CEO position with enthusiasm! It has been great to be part of the Väriset team from the very beginning as a painter and to see the company’s growth over the years. I believe in Väriset’s growth potential in the future as well, and as CEO, I aim to give my best to the company and all its employees,” says Andreas Mällinen.

Väriset’s founder and CEO until now, Konsta Peltokorpi (pictured left), will continue in group responsibilities and board work at Väriset. He is stepping down from the CEO role with confidence.

“I thank all our current and former employees for these years. A big thank you also to all our partners and customers. It has been truly wonderful to have worked for Väriset for 11 years now. Now is my time to step aside from operational activities. However, I will continue on the company’s board, so I will still be involved in Väriset’s operations, though not in such a visible role. While I feel a bit wistful, I am also very confident that the company is in really good hands with the change in the CEO position,” says Konsta Peltokorpi.

Board Chairman Jeremias Peltokorpi comments as follows:

“On behalf of the board and as a business partner, I want to thank Konsta for a successful 11-year period leading Väriset. During this time, we have learned to be entrepreneurs together, and our mutual trust has grown into a very strong resource that will surely carry us far.”

“Now a new page is being turned in Väriset’s history. I couldn’t imagine anyone more suitable to continue in the CEO role from here on than Andreas. I wish you all the best in your new position and firmly believe that the next 11 years will be at least as wonderful a continuation of Väriset’s story,” says Jeremias Peltokorpi.
