Promotions at Vaaka Partners
Pipsa Loimijoki has been appointed Investment Director, and Edward Enckell and Ville Vilkuna have been appointed Investment Managers, as of 1 March 2023.
Pipsa Loimijoki has been part of the Vaaka team since 2018, during which time she has supported the growth and internationalization of several Vaaka companies - most recently she has been part of the company teams of Framery and Lyyti.
"Pipsa has played an important role in the investment phase of several Vaaka companies, as well as supporting growth by board work and sparring with management teams. Pipsa lives and breathes Vaaka's values, and it is a pleasure to congratulate Pipsa on this appointment. The entire Vaaka team is looking forward to Pipsa and her smile returning from parental leave after the summer!", says Partner Ville Koskenvuo, who is coaching the investment team.
During 2023, both Edward Enckell and Ville Vilkuna enabled Vaaka to become the new majority shareholder in new companies. Ville had a major role in the acquisition of Huutokaupat.com in March 2023. He has also been part of Foreship's company team throughout his Vaaka career.
In June 2023, yet another company was added to Vaaka family when Fluxio and Aamu merged. Edward was a key part of that process and systematically drove it forward. In addition to Fluxio, Edward supports the development of Jungle Juice Bar and Unisport as a member of the company team.
"Edward and Ville are great team players and fit perfectly into Vaaka's culture. We are happy to support them as they take this step forward in their career paths," says Ville Koskenvuo.
