Mari-Liis Rüütsalu, Chairman of the Management Board of AS Ekspress Grupp, will
step down from her position on 31 December 2025, when her current four-year term
ends.
Mari-Liis Rüütsalu has worked at Ekspress Grupp for 13 years, the last 9 years
as Chairman of the Management Board of the group. The reason for her departure
is the desire to pursue new professional challenges.
"13 years at Ekspress Grupp has been an extraordinary journey. The company is
today in a strong position and well prepared for the next growth phase.
Therefore, I believe now is the right time to hand over the leadership. I plan
to take on new professional challenges, but until the end of the year I will
continue to contribute to the development of Ekspress Grupp," said Mari-Liis
Rüütsalu.
Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Ekspress Grupp Ülar Maapalu acknowledged
Mari-Liis Rüütsalu's contribution. "Under Mari-Liis's leadership, Ekspress Grupp
has gone through a successful digital transformation period, significantly
increased its digital revenue base and strengthened its position as the leading
media group in the Baltics. Under her leadership, the company has transformed
from a traditional media company into a modern media group with a digital
focus," said Maapalu.
The Supervisory Board will begin the search for a new Chairman of the Management
Board. Until the appointment of a new leader, the continuity of the company's
management will be ensured by the existing management team. The transition
period will last until 31 December 2025, ensuring a smooth transition of
leadership. The group's strategic goals and business directions will remain
unchanged, with digital focus and innovation continuing as planned.
