Prior to that, she has been active in the hospitality industry for several years as CEO of K\u00e4mp Collection Hotels and held several leading roles within the Fazer Group.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Laura is a skilled leader and business strategist with experience from international companies and has a deep knowledge of hotel operations. In recent years, we have opened several new hotels in the Finnish market and with increasing demand, we are now facing a new growth phase. I am convinced that Laura&#039;s drive and experience will be a strong addition to our continued journey, says Jens Mathiesen, President &amp; CEO of Scandic Hotels Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 It feels exciting to return to the hospitality industry and lead Scandic in Finland.

Laura Tarkka takes over the position after Aki K\u00e4yhk\u00f6, who is now leaving the company after 11 years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Our Finnish organization, with Aki at the helm, has created a well-liked brand with a significant position in the market, including the acquisition of Restel, which doubled the number of hotels under the Scandic flag in Finland. I am grateful for Aki&#039;s hard work in taking Scandic to where we are today and wish him all the best in his continued career, concludes Jens Mathiesen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Laura Tarkka takes up her new role in mid-August this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the press release.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laura Tarkka utses till ny chef \u00f6ver koncernens verksamhet i Finland och medlem av bolagets koncernledning.
