Carita Himberg has been appointed Senior Vice President, Human Resources and a member of future Metso Outotec’s Executive Team. She will start in her new role latest before the end of the year. The exact starting date will be announced later.

“At the same time, I want to thank Hannele Järvistö for her excellent contribution as the interim head of Metso’s HR for the past year and a half, and during the critical integration planning period. Hannele will continue in the interim role until Carita starts,” he continues.

The appointment becomes effective after the closing of the partial demerger of Metso and the combination of Metso’s Minerals business and Outotec, which is currently expected to take place on June 30, 2020.
