ÖEHV expands Exec­u­tive Board with Finnish-born expert

“Jarkko Petteri Soininen is an investment and business professional with an excellent international network. He will cover an important area within the Executive Board in future and will be responsible for marketing, sponsorship and lobbying,” explains ÖEHV President Klaus Hartmann.

Soininen studied industrial engineering and management at Helsinki University of Technology in his native Finland, managed the Hermes European Focus Fund in London (GBR) as a fund manager between 2008 and 2012, has been a member of the Board of Directors of Electromagnetic Geoservices ASA in Oslo (NOR) since 2014, and has been a partner and fund manager of the Redwheel European Focus Fund in London (GBR) since 2012.

Hailing from the country of the reigning Olympic and world champions, Jarkko Petteri Soininen has chosen Vienna as his home. Ice hockey is one of his great passions, and he also played the sport himself as a child and teenager.
