He is experienced in the fields of media, internationalising growth companies and significant merger and acquisition projects. Sasse lends a much needed comprehensive skill set and a network crucial to international success to the group’s growth objectives.
“I was interested in the seat on the A-lehdet board of directors because the company has a clear strategy concerning its growth path and a will to grow in the international market. It is exciting to be a part of writing this group’s story,” Sasse says.

Mäki will be able to offer our company more international cutting edge expertise and a visionary strategic mindset required by digital operations.

We are glad to have Jani and Antti on board to build a new and strategic, as well as a more growth-oriented, approach than before to our work on the board,” says Chair of the Board of Directors at A-lehdet Olli-Pekka Lyytikäinen.
