Markku Taskinen has been appointed as the new CEO of Suvic Oy, succeeding Ville Vesanen. He will assume the position at the latest on September 22, 2025. The planning of the future composition and role structure of the company’s management team will begin immediately, and the outcome will be announced by autumn. Taskinen joins Suvic from the position of CEO at Hartela Pohjois-Suomi Oy. He has a solid background in the construction project business, and for the past 15 years he has carried commercial responsibility for large operations. He holds a Master of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Oulu.

"The scale of Suvic’s business and especially the size of the projects delivered by the company have grown rapidly in recent years. This growth has created a need to renew our management practices and to strengthen the organization’s overall ability to meet the operational demands of large-scale projects," says Sanna Outa-Ollila, Acting CEO of Dovre Group Plc. "Markku is a seasoned leader in project-based business. In addition to best practices from the industry, he carries strong expertise in target-driven financial management of projects. Suvic's personnel have a wealth of skills and strengths, equipping the company with a solid foundation for success," Outa-Ollila continues.

"I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the outgoing CEO Ville Vesanen for his tireless and selfless efforts in supporting Suvic’s growth and in building a high-quality network of clients and subcontractors. Ville will continue to develop the company’s business as a key member of the renewed management team," Outa-Ollila adds.

"I’m excited to take on my new role at Suvic Oy. The construction of renewable energy has become a significant industry both in Finland and more broadly across the Nordic countries. I’m very much looking forward to the opportunity to contribute to the development of this field together with Suvic’s skilled and committed team. This role offers an excellent opportunity to make use of my previous experience and expertise in the construction sector. I believe they will help support the achievement of the organization’s strategic goals and contribute to Suvic’s long-term success," says Markku Taskinen.
