Coming to FLSmidth from Wärtsilä, Mikko Tepponen brings extensive knowledge in digital transformation of industrial companies.

Mikko Tepponen is looking forward to joining FLSmidth and relocating to Copenhagen:
“Digitalization is no longer an option, it’s a must for all industries, including Cement and Mining, enabling innovation and new business models for increased productivity and sustainability. I am excited to step into the role of Chief Digital Officer, and continuing FLSmidth’s digital transformation. I look forward to working together with our customers and employees to unlock the value of digital,” states Mikko.
