Pasi Kuoppamäki appointed Chief Economist for Miltton and Nordic West Office

Companies and organizations increasingly need to understand their changing operating environment: to understand markets, anticipate shifts, manage related risks, and turn them into opportunities. Decision‑making requires continuous interpretation of signals, assessment of political and geopolitical risks, and the ability to foresee how global trends will impact Nordic and global markets. Kuoppamäki’s appointment strengthens Miltton’s ability to support clients in this environment by providing analysis that helps turn uncertainty into opportunity.

With this appointment, Miltton is building a service focused on market insight, combining economic analysis, geopolitical understanding, and real-time, data‑driven information and monitoring. Clients can now integrate this analysis into Miltton’s broader advisory services in strategy, communications, investor relations, and public affairs. 

“Markets and geopolitics are becoming increasingly intertwined. Companies are now facing both rapid shocks and long-term structural changes at the same time. Geopolitical fragmentation, security uncertainties, climate and environmental pressures, economic risks, regulatory changes, technological transformation, and capital market volatility are just a few examples. The more complex the challenges our clients face, the more diverse our advisory must be. At this moment, it is essential that someone with Pasi’s economic authority joins our team,” says Sanna-Mari Jäntti, Miltton’s Head of new markets. 

“The Finnish and European economies are undergoing a transformation in which economic fundamentals, geopolitical tensions, and technological development are becoming intertwined in ways that challenge traditional analytical models. Companies now need a partner who can combine facts, deep insight into environmental trends, and strategic thinking. At Miltton, I can bring economic analysis into this whole and help clients make better decisions grounded in data and facts,” says Pasi Kuoppamäki.

Kuoppamäki’s appointment builds on Miltton’s long-term investment in understanding societal change. Nearly ten years ago, Miltton was the first in its industry to appoint a Chief Economist. Since then, the operating environment has become increasingly complex, interdependent, and volatile. At the same time, clients’ need for a partner who can interpret both global forces and the local reality of Northern Europe has grown significantly.
