Changes in Tieto Leadership Team


Tieto Corporation Stock Exchange Release 29 October 2010 at 8.00 am EET

The roles and responsibilities of the Tieto Leadership Team will partly change

decided to leave Tieto, and Willem Hendrickx has been appointed head of Tieto
International. Hendrickx will also continue in his current role as head of
Telecom & Media."I want to thank Pekka for his great contribution and dedication to drive
Tieto's success during the past years. His passion for IT has been recognized
not only in the company but outside as well, and he has been a key person in
building Tieto's partner network and alliance collaboration. I wish him the best
of luck in his new pursuits outside Tieto," says Hannu Syrjälä, President and
