Pasi Lehtinen

I have worked in the financial sector since 1999. For the first years, I had the chance to be part of a small private equity company, where I got my first experiences in the industry. In 2002, I moved to Sitra, where I became acquainted with the various stages of private equity investments and was involved in a number of domestic and international corporate and social projects. As a co-founding partner, and CEO since June 2020 at Korona, I have been managing many of our portfolio companies during the past fifteen years, including growth stories like Omaeläinklinikka, Vaihtolavacom, Roima Intelligence, MilaPro, Sähkötaso Esitystekniikka, Hoitokoti Päiväkumpu, Vetrea Terveys, Evantia and Validia. It has been great to be able to create success stories together with great personalities and professionals in various fields. I have completed an M. Sc. (Econ) and an EMBA, and I am a qualified authorized board member (HHJ).
