“I am very pleased to welcome Tuomas to the YIT Group Management Team. Tuomas has wide understanding of the role of finance as an enabler for a successful organisation. He has an extensive track record of delivering high-performing results both in business and in finance. CFO is wingman for a CEO. With his strategic capability, leadership and energy, I am confident that he will become a key contributor to the overall success of YIT in the future. I warmly welcome Tuomas Mäkipeska to YIT”, says Markku Moilanen, President and CEO of YIT.
“I am excited to join the YIT Group. YIT is a great company and its mission – Creating better living environments – inspires me personally.

The YIT Group’s current CFO Ilkka Salonen has requested to leave YIT to focus on Board membership and advisor roles in the future. He will continue as the CFO of YIT until Tuomas Mäkipeska joins the company.
“I want to give my warm thanks to Ilkka Salonen for his work as a CFO at YIT and Lemminkäinen. Ilkka has had a key role in the integration process of the two companies. As a result, the balance sheet of YIT has been strengthened and financing of the company is secured for years to come. Ilkka is a highly respected colleague at YIT. I wish him all the best in his future endeavours”, says Markku Moilanen.
