About

I help companies hire the right senior leaders, and get it right the first time. Before founding executive search firm Henrico (acquired by StaffPoint Group), I spent over a decade leading commercial teams at Kesko, RAY, and SOK. I know what high-performing leadership teams actually look like from the inside. Since then, I’ve completed 500+ placements across 100+ companies in 30+ industries, backed by a network of 55,000+ Finnish professionals built over two decades. I’m the co-author of Vihaan Myyntiä! (Alma Talent, 2023) and Suomen selkäranka (Tammi, 2025). If you’re looking to hire a senior leader in Finland, I’d be glad to help. Services & references → www.tomipyyhtia.com
