Heikki Pöyhönen has been appointed Head of the new rock construction unit and a new member of the Management Team of Kreate Group Plc as of 2 January 2026.

"I am excited to join Kreate's yellow-and-black team. During my career, I have worked on construction sites, as a site manager, as a project development manager, and in recent years as the head of an entire infrastructure business. This experience has broadened my understanding of different perspectives of the business, enabling goal-oriented development and leadership with a clear understanding of realities. No one does this work alone; strength lies in cooperation across the board. I am therefore pleased to lead an enthusiastic group of highly skilled professionals. I believe that within the Kreate team, together with new colleagues and with the support of a major infrastructure company, we can develop operations even more systematically," says Heikki Pöyhönen, EVP, Rock Construction.
