CC Corporate Visit, OP Group, 15 October 2018

October 15, 2018

After a few years break we brought back the tradition of CC Corporate Visits taking the Members of Consular Corps to visit the leading corporations in Finland. It was a great privilege to re-start this long-time tradition with a visit to the OP Group, the biggest Finnish financial house.

OP Group is a financial services group owned by its customers, a cooperative that provides banking-, insurance- and wealth-management services. OP Group has more than 12 000 employees and in the cooperative there are approximately 157 banks.

Mr. Johan Grotenfelt, Dean of Consular Corps in Finland, presented the host of the CC Corporate event, Mr. Timo Ritakallio.

Our visit was hosted by Mr. Timo Ritakallio, President and Group Executive Chairman. He has been one of the key persons in the Finnish financial, banking and insurance sector for years and Consular Corps had a unique opportunity to hear his extensive visions over the financial sector’s presence and future as well OP Group’s activities in the changing environment with new digital technology, AI and beyond.

Mr. Timo Ritakallio, President and Group Executive Chairman of OP Group shared his extensive visions about the future of banking with the Consular Corps.
Representatives of 35 countries joined the event at OP Group at their HQ in Helsinki.

We thank Mr. Timo Ritakallio and OP Group for this wonderful opportunity and truly interesting evening with plenty of interactive questions and discussions around the future of banking and financial sector.
