Kolinen inizierà il suo mandato il 1° Agosto 2015 seguendo la nuova strategia promozionale e commerciale di Design Forum Finland.
“Petteri Kolinen’s wide experience in different industries, his leadership experience and understanding of integrating design into businesses’ core activities are precisely those areas of expertise that we now need to implement the organization’s strategy. Design Forum Finland wants to work closely with other actors in the field of design. Kolinen contributes his personality and expertise to be a part of this development,” says Ulla Uimonen, Chairman of the Board.
“We would also like to thank Dan Colliander for the excellent work he has done in the past months acting as the interim Managing Director of Design Forum Finland in addition to his other duties, a post in which he will continue until August,” says Uimonen.

“My great passion is to bring together Finland’s top-level creative skills and business world.

In that task, design plays a crucial role,” says Petteri Kolinen.
