by

Alan Wake and Control developer Remedy Entertainment has appointed Santtu Kallionpää as its new CFO.

Kallionpää previously served as vice president of finance and sales at Fazer Confectionary, which describes itself as “Finland’s leading producer of chocolates, confectionery and biscuits.” The company employs about 2,400 people and says Karl Fazer milk chocolate is the “core” of its business.

Remedy CEO Tero Virtala praised Kallionpää’s consumer business credentials and extensive experience in “strategic project management.”

“I am delighted to welcome Santtu Kallionpää to Remedy and our core management team. In addition to his financial expertise, he has experience in the consumer sector, ranging from strategic project management to business development and performance management of key operations,” Virtala said in a press release“These are valuable skills and relevant capabilities for Remedy. Santtu will be a good leader and collaborator with both our game and support teams.”

Kallionpää will replace former Remedy CFO Terhi Kauppi, who resigned in June 2024 to “pursue new career opportunities outside the company.” Kauppi had been with Remedy since 2018.

Speaking about his move, Kallionpää said he was looking forward to joining a “world-renowned gaming company with very exciting future opportunities.”
