Anna Hyvönen, head of the Nokian passenger tire department Nokian Tyres and the Vianor trade and service network, as well as the executive vice-president of the tire manufacturer, has decided to leave the company. Hyvönen will continue to work at Nokian until July 2025, the Finnish concern's press service reported.

"I would like to thank Anna for her contribution to the development of Nokian Tyres, which she made, first by heading Vianor in 2016, and then the passenger tire department," noted Jukka Moisio, President and CEO of Nokian. - Anna did a great job in difficult conditions, contributing to the future success of Nokian Tyres. Although we will still have time to work together, we already wish her all the best for the future".

Moisio himself will also leave Nokian no later than January 1, 2025, after which the company will be headed by Paolo Pompei, who currently works at Yokohama.

In Russia, the Vianor network was renamed "Ivanor" after Nokian left the local market.
