Signals at Alma Media

Restructuring

EMEA

Alma Media combined Corporate Communications and Human Resources into one function led by Elina Kukkonen, removing the separate HR role and ending Merja Ristilä's Group Management Team membership, to tighten decision-making and simplify support functions.

Leadership read: Restructuring reshapes the leadership profile as much as the cost base. For Alma Media in the sector, it shifts demand toward transformation and turnaround leaders who hold delivery steady while the organisation changes shape. Across EMEA, watch where Alma Media still invests in leadership; that is the part it means to keep.
