Marko Koistila has been appointed as VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd’s VP, sales and customer partnerships as of June 1, 2019. Koistila is leaving behind a career in the pharmaceutical industry and a long line of leadership positions at GSK both in Finland and abroad.
“Marko’s varied and international background made him an ideal candidate for our vacancy. The pharmaceutical industry is a highly research-intensive sector, and Marko is therefore also familiar with the world of research,” said Mika Toikka, VTT’s EVP, commercial operations.
“I had been wanting to work with Finnish know-how and new technologies that create growth opportunities for businesses for a while. In this position, I am able to contribute to these future success stories,” Koistila said. “I believe that technological solutions are the key to solving global challenges. However, science, research and technology need to satisfy customers’ needs. It is therefore crucial that we are able to tie VTT’s cutting-edge know-how in with the contemporary challenges and growth opportunities of businesses in Finland. Our mission is to make this known to the market so that we can help to create new success stories and, on the other hand, contribute to building a sustainable world for future generations.”
