"I am delighted to be joining SSP as we rebound from COVID and re-build into a stronger business across Finland and the Baltics over the coming years," said Elena Heiska. "It is part of human nature to explore and seek out new experiences and that is why I believe that travel and hospitality has a bright future ahead of it. And we will be an integral part of that future."
