ensto today | ENSTO PEOPLE ‘Profitable growth is the name of the game’ 16 ENSTO TODAY 1/2016 Former Ensto Group Chairman of the Board, Risto Anttonen, reflects on the past two years as Chairman. Scott Diel Kaupo Kikkas Anttonen has served as CEO of both Ahlstrom and Norpe, two Finnish corporations he helped transition from local to global. Ensto Today asked Anttonen about the process of widening Ensto’s relevant market, making the company “less local,” yet maintaining its competitive advantage of being locally present. et As Chairman, you led the work of the board to set the corporate strategy – deter-mining which businesses Ensto should be in. Given that role, what's your vision for Ensto? The main objective is to find the right growth strategy. Ensto has a rich portfolio of different technologies and we have a good knowledge base. We can still learn how to become better in designing our growth strategy and executing it. While the board defines the busi-nesses we’re in, the Strategic Business Units themselves must create their own sustainable competitive advantages. Ensto’s greatest potential growth will come from Ensto Utility Network products and lighting. But in Ensto Elec-trification business units there are also opportunities, each having product lines with real growth potential.
