Tomi Laaksola has worked in operational management positions in Eezy Oyj's human resources services in 2018–2024. Before that, he had a long career as a human resources entrepreneur. Over the years, Laaksola has also been involved in building and sparring the growth path of several start-up companies. As CEO of Rentop, Laaksola will continue to hold positions of trust on the boards of various companies.
“We are very excited to have Tomi Laaksola as CEO of Rentop. Tomi brings valuable external insight and experience that will help us develop our business. Under his leadership, we expect Rentop to grow and develop into an even stronger player in the lifting services industry,” says Samuli Mikkonen, Rentop’s Chairman of the Board.
"It is a great opportunity to jump in and take the wheel of such a great company. Rentop's market position and customer and employee relationships are unique. This is a good place to start, together with the rest of the organization and customers, to take the company and its strategy to new heights. Thank you to Rentop's owners and board of directors for your trust," says Laaksola.
Responsibilities are being clarified
In connection with the appointment of a new CEO, other organizational responsibilities have also been clarified.
Rentop's co-founder Lauri Lauhikari, who served as temporary CEO, will from now on, under the title of Head of Finnish Operations, focus on customer work and developing the Finnish business. Rentop's international operations are being handled by Head of International Operations Adam Falana. "My own resources are now fully freed up for the everyday life of our employees and customers in the field," Lauri Lauhikari rejoices. The driving force behind the reorganization was the need to create a clearer organization for both customers and employees.
My full resources are now fully available for the field — to support the everyday lives of our employees and customers," Lauri Lauhikari rejoices.
With the reorganization, Rentop has launched a strategy work that will help the company achieve profitable growth in the coming years.
"Now we can serve both our domestic and international customers even better than before," Lauhikari says.
