Mikko Tepponen is looking forward to joining FLSmidth and relocating to Copenhagen: “Digitalisation is no longer an option, it is a must for all industries, including Cement and Mining, enabling innovation and new business models for increased productivity and sustainability. I am excited to step into the role of Chief Digital Officer, and continuing FLSmidth’s digital transformation.
