Renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) producer Neste announced March 5 that it has appointed new leadership team members as part of an organizational change that primarily affects the company’s renewable-products business.
As of April 1, Neste’s renewable-products commercial, refining, and feedstock sourcing and trading will be represented in the company’s leadership team.
At the same time, Neste will establish a North American renewable-products business unit, which will be responsible for all renewable-products business in North America, including regional feedstock and commercial operations as well as the Martinez, California, joint venture with Marathon Petroleum.
From April 1 onwards, Neste’s leadership team members will consist of Heikki Malinen, president and CEO, and the following leadership team members, who will all report to Malinen:
Jori Sahlsten, executive vice president of Neste’s oil-products business area.
Artturi Mikkola, senior vice president of renewable products feedstock sourcing and trading.
Jukka Kanerva, senior vice president, renewable products refining.
Carl Nyberg, senior vice president, renewable products commercial.
Unnamed, president, renewable products North America (Nyberg as interim).
Markku Korvenranta, executive vice president and chief operating officer.
Eeva Sipilä, chief financial officer.
Hannele Jakosuo-Jansson, executive vice president, people and culture.
“Given the importance and potential of our renewables business within Neste, I see this change as a next step to accelerate Neste’s value creation and long-term growth,” Malinen said. “I believe that with this leadership team and structure we will effectively lead Neste’s strategy execution and financial performance. I warmly welcome Artturi, Jukka and Carl to Neste’s leadership team. They all have strong track records in their respective areas of responsibility and have had several demanding leadership positions across Neste over the years.”
The company advised these changes will not affect Neste’s financial-reporting segments.
