Vaisala announces changes in its leadership team to continue its
strategy execution and growth as a global leader in measurement
instruments and intelligence for climate action. The changes are
valid as of January 2025.

of building recurring revenue in data, Samuli Hänninen joins the

business.

based on its two reporting segments Industrial Measurements and
Weather and Environment. The Weather and Environment segment
consists of the Weather, Energy and Environment business and the
Xweather business.
Kai Öistämö, Vaisala’s President and CEO,
comments on the changes:
"Sampsa Lahtinen has been instrumental in growing our Industrial
Measurements business, which has more than tripled in size under
his leadership. I want to give my warmest thanks to Sampsa for this
great contribution and wish him all the best for the next chapters
in life. Moreover, I am excited to see Jarkko Sairanen and Anne
Jalkala take on their new roles, and welcome Samuli Hänninen to the
