“I am excited about this opportunity to join Metso, which is known as a leading company in its field and has interesting opportunities ahead,” Kyckling said.
“I look forward to working with my new colleagues to develop not only all areas of Metso’s financial management but also the company’s strategy and future direction towards even greater success.”
Metso president and chief executive officer Sami Takaluoma welcomed Kyckling to the company.
