Multitude SE appoints Lasse Mäkelä as Head of External Communications
23 February 2022
The continued growth of the Multitude Group has spurred a focus on consistent
information, engagement, and communication.
In addition to his current position as the Head of Mergers and Acquisitions,
Lasse Mäkelä will assume the role as the Head of External Communications
effective immediately. Along with his notable career in finance, Lasse has
been an entrepreneur for the last eight years. He has spent much of that time
focusing on relaying public-facing information and now can utilise his skill
sets in both communications as well as in banking. Lasse holds a BSc in
Banking and International Finance from City University Business School in
London and an EMBA from Helsinki's Aalto University. Lasse will be working
closely with Multitude SE Leadership Team and reporting to the CEO, Jorma
Jokela.
Since its foundation in 2005, Multitude SE has grown from one business unit
into three with business units in varied markets and a wide range of customer
segments. This rapid growth has increased the need for more communication and
will enable further transparency, development, and progress inside the
Multitude Group through Lasse's appointment.
"We are thrilled that Lasse will assume the communications role in addition to
the acquisition role. He has significant experience in both areas, and I
believe he can bring us more value in these areas going forward. As a company,
we will consider reinforcing our existing three businesses selectively;
Capitalbox for business lending, SweepBank for shopping and financing related
banking and Ferratum for consumer lending. In addition, we are also
considering other businesses that could neatly fit into our platform. These
are areas, which need both seamless execution and effective communications,"
says CEO and principal shareholder Jorma Jokela.
With this appointment, Multitude SE will change its communication policy
accordingly. Investor relations will continue to be overseen by Head of
Investor Relations, Hannes Merlecker. Multitude SE is looking towards future
growth opportunities and is poised to share more effectively through this new
organisational development.
