Mikko Soirola Takes the Helm at Elisa Industriq

On March 30, 2026, Elisa Industriq revealed its latest leadership change, welcoming Mikko Soirola as the new Chief Executive Officer. This move signifies a crucial step for the burgeoning software company under the broader umbrella of the Elisa Group, reinforcing its commitment to international growth and brand optimization.

A Leader with Proven Expertise

Soirola is no stranger to the software industry; his extensive experience includes steering growth-centric enterprises, most recently at Finago and Accountor Software. There, he successfully consolidated multiple Nordic software brands into a singular operational model, showcasing his capability in navigating international markets and fostering a strong organizational culture.

In response to his new role, Soirola expressed enthusiasm, emphasizing the values of purpose, clarity, and trust that Elisa Industriq stands for. "I am thrilled to embark on this journey with Elisa Industriq, not merely for the business opportunities we have ahead but for the principles that guide this organization. I envision fostering an environment where every team member feels a sense of ownership in our collective path forward," he stated. His vision, centered on establishing Elisa Industriq as a globally recognized software provider, aims to support customers in achieving tangible transformations through advanced technological solutions.

Building on Strong Foundations

Over the last few years, Elisa Industriq firmly positioned itself as a provider of innovative software solutions across sectors such as manufacturing, telecommunications, and energy. With the completion of its initial growth phase, the company is now poised to scale internationally, deepen the integration of its operations, and amplify its global presence.

Soirola succeeds Henri Korpi, who played a pivotal role in developing Elisa Industriq into a €150 million international software entity over the past eight years. Alongside his appointment, Soirola also joins Elisa's Corporate Executive Board as of March 30, 2026, marking a significant milestone in his career.

Enhancing the Executive Team

Coupling Soirola's leadership, Elisa Industriq is strengthening its executive team, having recently brought in Jorma Niemelä as Chief Operating Officer and Americo Mazzotta as Chief Commercial Officer. These strategic appointments are aligned with the company’s vision of bolstering its operational, commercial, and strategic capabilities as it embarks on the next chapter of its international expansion.

The Road Ahead

As Elisa Industriq continues to push the boundaries of innovation, it aims to utilize software solutions that drive operational intelligence by harmonizing industrial expertise with cutting-edge AI technology. The company, which operates brands such as camLine, sedApta, Polystar, CalcuQuote, TenForce, and Gridle, serves over 2,500 clients worldwide in critical sectors.

Elisa Industriq is dedicated to delivering business value through cost reduction, quality enhancement, and growth facilitation, all while integrating its solutions with clients' existing systems. With a workforce of over 1,500 experts across Europe, Asia, and North America, the company's mission aligns with its parent organization, Elisa—a trailblazer in telecommunications and digital services based in Finland. Together, they aspire towards a sustainable future powered by digitalization.
