Finance company Aktia has dismissed its newly appointed chief executive Carl Haglund, less than three months after naming him to the post. Information obtained by Helsingin Sanomat has revealed the reason for dismissal.
According to two that changes in major shareholdings had no bearing on the board’s decision. Nevertheless, Haglund’s sudden exit came as a surprise to the Financial Supervisory Authority, which was still conducting its assessment of his suitability at the time.
The situation has raised questions about the balance of power between Aktia’s board, the CEO and its largest shareholders.
Aktia will also face board changes at an extraordinary general meeting next week. Rosenberg, who recently became CEO of state-owned investment company Solidium, will step down. Shareholders have been asked to appoint Juha Hammarén as a new board member, with current members indicating he would then be chosen as chair.
Aktia’s second-largest shareholder is pension insurer Veritas, with an 8.24 percent stake.
