Pekka Lemettinen

Advisor to the C-suite

Pekka Lemettinen is a CEO, board professional, and investor with a deep curiosity for how things work – and what drives people. His career began in Asia and the Middle East, shaping a global outlook and giving him firsthand insight into how culture can make or break both business outcomes and human potential.

Most recently CEO of POP Bank Group, Pekka now focuses on board work and investing in growth companies. What sets him apart is his ability to connect strategy and systems with human insight. He has worked relentlessly to demystify organisational culture and make it C-suite fit – human-centric, business-relevant, and deeply embedded in execution.

A strong advocate for active culture leadership, Pekka brings deep experience in turning culture into a strategic lever – not a soft afterthought. For him, culture is not the “nice to have” – it’s the architecture behind performance, relevance, and transformation.
