Before joining Miltton, Partanen served as State Secretary of the Centre Party ministerial group. He has also served as Secretary General of the Centre Party parliamentary group and as Special Adviser to the Ministries of the Environment and Defence.

Partanen has a background in the banking and finance sector, the green transition investment environment, SME issues, agri-food business, and transport and infrastructure investments, among others.

Jari Partanen’s move to Miltton will further enhance the company’s Finnish and EU decision-making expertise. He will be based in London, giving Miltton a presence in a key global centre for business and finance.

In the face of geopolitical risks and global economic uncertainties, successful organizations can navigate challenging conditions by combining global insight with local knowledge. A deeper understanding of the UK market will help anticipate shifts in global politics and economics. 

“Jari’s experience in domestic public policy and the international environment strengthens Miltton’s ability to maintain situational awareness for clients, identify risks and solutions, and build networks. His blend of political, economic and legal expertise is extremely valuable to us,” says Max Mickelsson, Head of Public Affairs services at Miltton and Managing Director of Miltton Networks Oy.

“I believe my professional experience and network will add value to Miltton’s services, as well as my expertise in stakeholder and advocacy work in key sectors”, Jari Partanen comments.  

“With the UK’s ever-changing post-Brexit landscape and the political agenda of the new government, new opportunities are emerging in the market, which Nordic business should actively pursue,” Partanen continues.
