ISA KARTTUNEN

I joined the Sentica team in March 2023. Before this, I completed my Master’s degree in Economics and worked in several different fields of finance. Lastly, I ended up working with private equity funds and the best part of it is that every day can bring something new.

My job includes reporting and financial management, but I like that in addition to these, I get to do a wide variety of things in my job. It is very motivating to work in an environment where professionalism and a relaxed atmosphere go hand in hand.

TOMMI SILVAST

I joined Sentica as an Investment Analyst in the autumn of 2023 from OP Corporate Bank, where I worked for about four years as a Credit Risk Analyst. I became familiar with private equity activities through various LBO projects. My educational background is in Master of Science in Business Administration.

What inspires me the most in private equity is the opportunity to help companies reach their potential and thus become a part of inspiring growth stories. As a competitive and entrepreneurial person, I am excited to become a part of Sentica’s skilled team. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and engaging in various ball sports.

AMAL MOLIN

I joined the Sentica team in June 2020 shortly after receiving my master’s degree in Finance. At my previous positions I have participated in strategy and transaction projects for various sectors and gained experience in private equity fund investments.

The most rewarding aspect in private equity is contributing the best of myself together with ambitious entrepreneurs and highly skilled colleagues to reach the highest potential. At Sentica I particularly value the responsible and results-driven yet friendly way of working that provides a framework for constant self-development and meaningful work.

JOHAN WENTZEL

It is funny how, when looking back, it all seems to make sense. Long nights as a young investment banker struggling with numerous cases some ending successfully some without a result, a “road trip” with the biggest Icelandic bank at the peak of it all. It all was a fantastic journey and school for what I love doing today – supporting great companies in their ambitions to evolve, grow and prosper. The only thing I hate is saying goodbye. There is usually still so much to do and often lifelong friendships found among the teams making it all come true. On the other hand, someone else will continue and after all that is part of the game.

TIMO SARKKI

It is very hard not to get excited about a job, which in a short time can include interesting challenges ranging from water treatment in China to social welfare and health care development in Finland and furnishing industrial environments in Europe. The best aspect of my work is encountering numerous different and unique ideas, companies and especially people, which can be found in Finland. With some of these I have had the privilege to work with, and sometimes even with great success! Currently my role in Sentica is focused especially on portfolio company development, but also on screening for new investment opportunities, and considering the nature of our business, also exits. Due to my unlimited love for accounting and reporting, I have also got to leave my small footprint on portfolio companies’ and funds’ amazing world of reporting.

KAI VESIKALLIO

I joined Sentica in autumn 2017 after pursuing master’s degrees in both law and economics in Helsinki. During my studies, I worked mainly in business law and M&A in different law firms. At that time, I became interested in private equity; I find it fascinating, as endless curiosity and an inquiring mind are needed to identify, evaluate and develop successful businesses. Being surrounded by people who share these characteristics and enjoy what they do is simply great.
