Jesse

Head of M&A, Boreo Oyj, Finland

“I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree from Åbo Akademi University, majoring in accounting and finance. Parallel with my studies, I also worked in various investment banking roles until moving to London, where I earned my Master’s degree at the London School of Economics.

After completing my studies, I moved to Stockholm to work in the Nordic M&A team of an international investment bank. Thereafter, I returned to Finland in 2018 to head our family business. In 2019, I got the opportunity to participate in building the Nordic operations of a German publicly listed private equity company, where I was eventually responsible for the Finnish market and operations. I joined Boreo as the Head of M&A in January 2021.

In Boreo, I was especially interested in the opportunity to join and build the group for the long term, both through acquisitions and operational initiatives. I have found Boreo’s low hierarchy approach and entrepreneurial mindset to be a particularly positive aspect.”
