She will start in the position on 8 June 2026 and report to the President and CEO.  Master of Social Science, Stjerna has before Marimekko worked as the COO and member of the Executive Committee of the Danish fashion company Ganni. Prior to that she held several leadership roles in supply and logistics chain as well as customer service at Ganni and L’Oréal. Marimekko has decided to separate the functions of supply chain and product portfolio management. In recent years, the strategic role of supply chain in the company’s success has been further emphasized in the increasingly dynamic operating environment characterized by various uncertainties. At the same time, the company sees investments in strategic product portfolio management and lifting it into the core of brand management as a measure supporting the acceleration of international growth. Going forward, the COO, Supply Chain will oversee Marimekko’s product development, sourcing, quality control, logistics and its own Helsinki printing factory operations. In turn, the Merchandising team is in charge of product portfolio management and development according to Marimekko’s brand, business objectives and global market needs. Marimekko will initiate a recruitment process for the director of the Merchandising team. Marimekko’s Chief Marketing Officer Sanna-Kaisa Niikko will lead the Merchandising team in interim. ”I am excited to welcome Karolin to our Management Group. Her versatile experience in leading global operations in our industry to support international scaling is a great asset for us on our growth journey.  Strategic supply chain management has an increasingly important role in building Marimekko’s future competitiveness and enhancing our productivity, flexibility and agility,” says Tiina Alahuhta-Kasko, Marimekko’s President and CEO. Tina Broman, Marimekko’s Chief Supply Chain and Product Officer (CSCPO) and member of the Management Group, will step down from her position as of 2 June 2026. The termination of her employment has been agreed by mutual consent. ”I would like to warmly thank Tina for her years at Marimekko and significant contribution to building the premises for our growth strategy. Under Tina’s leadership, Marimekko’s sourcing, own production and logistics as well as product development and portfolio management have been lifted to a new level. Together with her team, Tina has created a strong foundation for us to now move on to a new phase in supply chain and product portfolio management according to Marimekko’s SCALE strategy,” Alahuhta-Kasko says.
