Petri Aho to run international sales at Aktia

The competence within Aktia Asset Management will be strengthened as Petri Aho starts as Director in charge of international sales as of 1 September 2021.

“Aktia's competence is already competitive at an international level, which has been proven by several success stories. I am very eager to start building and accelerating further growth”, Petri Aho says.

Petri Aho is a Master of Social Sciences with diverse experience in international sales on the financial market. Before Aktia, Aho held a leading position in international institutional sales at Nordea Markets. In his new position, Aho can guide Aktia’s success story: Aktia’s international assets under management were approximately EUR 2 billion in July 2021 and the growth from the previous year was 18%.

“International customers already represent a significant part of our business and assets under management, which is quite rare in the Finnish asset management field. The potential for growth is massive – through current solutions as well as through future launches. Petri joining our team is a key part of our growth story”, says Perttu Purhonen, Director in charge of Aktia Asset Management.
