Kaiko Clothing Company Oy has appointed Marianne Kokkonen as its new CEO as of June 1, 2024, who previously served as the company's CFO. Marianne has also acted as the CEO's deputy during Mirjam Soka's parental leave and has shown exceptional results in turning Kaiko's ship around.
Marianne Kokkonen brings with her a strong background in the field of fashion, as she has previously worked as a country manager at Cubus, Marimekko on the retail side, and as a shopping center manager at Kämp Galleria.

I would especially like to thank Mirjam for the trust and freedom to put my business knowledge into play and implement a management style that is in line with my values. It has been a pleasure to implement a new strategy and see positive results in a relatively short period of time. Having my inspiring and visionary work partner Mirjam back from parental leave gives us the kick to reach the next level again." - Marianne Kokkonen, CEO
Mirjam Sokka, Kaiko's founder and former CEO, continues in the company in the new role of CVO (Chief Visionary Officer).
