Eerikki Mäkinen

Chief Executive Officer, Meve Synthesis

Eerikki Makinen Meve Synthesis

Eerikki founded Meve Synthesis after more than ten years in senior executive roles across the industrial sector, most recently as EVP Products & Operations, CTO and COO at Nilfisk, and before that in CTO and multiple SVP and business unit leadership roles at Konecranes. Before stepping into senior executive roles, he has worked in world leading companies such as SKF and Valmet / Metso Paper.

Eerikki holds comprehensive experience of several integrations, including leading a post-acquisition integration, being part of a divestment and planning a merger of equals. He values working with diverse teams and meeting everyone at eye-level from factory floor to company boards. Eerikki has lived in Singapore, France and Denmark.

Eerikki’s work has centered on end-to-end value chain leadership, strategy deployment, product development and M&A integration — always from inside the organization, carrying the outcome through, not just advising on it from outside.
