Picosun appoints Jussi Rautee as CEO

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) thin-film coating technology firm Picosun Group of Espoo, Finland has appointed Jussi Rautee as its new chief executive officer, starting on 1 October.

The appointment continues the changes made at Picosun this year. In June Picosun received a significant investment from Finnish investors and expanded its ownership base by adding CapMan Growth, First Fellow Partners and Tesi (Finnish Industry Investment Ltd).

Current CEO Kustaa Poutiainen will continue as chairman of the board of Picosun Group, and Juhana Kostamo, managing director of Picosun Oy, will continue as deputy CEO of the Group.

“Picosun is growing fast all around the world, and our ALD technology finds constantly new markets and applications,” says Poutiainen. “Jussi Rautee has strong experience in growth leadership in the realm of big, multi-national corporations,” he adds.

Rautee holds an M.Sc. in Engineering from Finland’s Tampere University of Technology. Previously, he worked in several senior leadership roles at ABB Group in Finland, Australia, USA and most recently in Poland, gaining a track record in executing growth strategies, leading large global operations and organizations, and developing people.

“It is great to join Picosun Group to take ALD to yet new application areas and industries,” comments Rautee. “Together, we can further strengthen the company’s position in the growing market.”
