There have been changes in Sanna Marin this year.
At the turn of the year, Sanna Marin’s company has been on the door.
First, Tuulia Pitkänen, a former special assistant of Marin, was said to have left the company. Pitkänen is no longer the CEO of the MA/PI, nor is the deputy member of the Board.
Recently, it turned out that Pitkänen established a new consulting company on the same day as he officially left the position of Marin’s CEO.
Autumn Consulting Oy has a consultation and all other legal business. The company’s postal address is the same as MA/PI Oy.
Pitkänen owns all 100 shares of autumn Consulting Oy. Marin is not involved in her consulting company.
Marin, on the other hand, was supplemented by Pitkänen and his cooperative company last week. January 25th, a new name was recorded in the company’s information. Now the company’s board of directors has two members, with Mari himself and a new person as a deputy.
A woman elected as a deputy member of the board of directors is not a familiar person from the public, so Iltalehti does not publish his name. Iltalehti reached him earlier, but he did not want to comment on his role in Marin’s company.
The name of Marin’s company Mon/Pi dates back to her and Pitkänen’s surnames. At least for the time being, the name of the company has not been changed, even though Pitkänen is no longer involved.
Cooperation will continue
Pitkänen comments on his departure in early January on Instagram. He wrote that he worked in a joint company in a joint company only in addition to his international day jobs.
Towards the end of 2023, Pitkänen was hired at the same London Tony Blair Institute as Marin. Pitkänen commented at the time To Helsingin Sanomatthat his role at the Institute is Senior Advisor, or an older advisor.
– The task includes strategic and practical advice. A special target is the issues related to the European Union, Pitkänen comments to the magazine.
He told HS that his role in the organization is independent of Marin, but they work partly in the same projects.
Pitkänen commented on his resignation from MA/PI on Instagram and said that he has been offered the opportunity to focus on working in Ukraine. For this reason, he said he had qualified for his responsibility for MA/PI.
– Together with Sanna, the work we did at the London Institute has been demanding meaningful and professionally developing – and has taken around the globe. In all of the professionally, the best thing I came up with, Pitkänen glowed in his writing.
Iltalehti previously tried to reach the long and Tony Blair Institute (TBI) to comment on his new areas of responsibility without success.
“Started from zero”
Marin also commented on his company’s changes on Instagram in early January.
According to Marin, the duo’s cooperation continues. Also, Marin justified the move of Pitkänen aside with his “increase in responsibilities at the Tony Blair Institute”
– It has been a pleasure to work with Tuulia for many years, and cooperation continues in TBI. Tuulia’s expertise has been widely noticed and in the future he will have all the opportunities to proceed to any task, Marin wrote in his Instagram publication.
In his Instagram update, Pitkänen annoyed the trip to the duo. He said that being the company’s CEO has been educational and new.
– It has been wonderful to have a completely zero company to pull. I didn’t think we would have been able to grow up in our first whole year, hiring a talented Iidan [Vallin]to meet [Barack] Obama (and experience the earthquake in New York), Pitkänen wrote.
The Tony Blair Institute is the title organization of the former British Prime Minister. Marin is the strategic advisor to the Institute.
This is a thought incubator founded by Tony Blair and a non -profit organization, which aims, among other things, to advise government and political leaders in strategic policies.

According to TBI, the organization operates in more than 40 countries and have about 900 employees. In 2023, the Institute made a loss of approximately $ 2.2 million with a turnover of approximately $ 145 million.
The company explained that the loss -making result was due, among other things, to personnel costs and investment in regional headquarters. According to previous information from Iltalehti, Marin’s main role in the Institute is to support Ukraine and Moldova in their EU membership applications.
Pitkänen has also traveled with Marin in Ukraine and Moldova.
In the fall of 2023, Marin applied for a resignation from the duties of a Member as a strategic advisor.

Marin wrote about the background and purposes of a joint company on Instagram when the company had a launch party.
– MA/PI is a company founded by two women that operates on the international field. It is important for us not only to do our job as well as possible, but also to promote equality and the position of women in the world. Feminism is at the heart of our company’s values and operations.
In February 2024, another special special assistant to Marin also started at the company.
– Much of our work is related to current and burning international issues such as geopolitics, climate and environmental issues, equality, human rights, technology and leadership.
“We talk about events, work in various projects and meet people in international forums,” Marin said on his Instagram account.
