Mikko Salminen

Open to advisory role and board work.

I am an experienced and accomplished Head of Trading with over 15 years of expertise in finance, financial trading, energy investments, commodities, and capital markets. I hold a Master of Science degree in Economics at Turku School of Economics, and I have developed strong competencies in managing financial trading and portfolio management teams, leading and supporting renewables investments and project strategies, and analyzing and carrying out research on the impact of fundamentals and policies on energy and power markets, macro-economy, commodities, and capital markets trends.

My mission is to create value for the company and its clients by leveraging my expertise in financial trading, derivatives, PPA’s, risk management, market analysis, hedging strategies, and green investments. I have successfully led and built trading, portfolio management, and risk management units at leading energy companies in the Nordic and Baltic region, such as Ignitis Group, Loiste, and Helen. I have also originated and developed partnerships and business relationships with key stakeholders, such as clients, financial institutions, and banking entities. I am passionate about leaving a mark on the energy / trading industry and contributing to the transition to a low-carbon economy.
