Translink Corporate Finance is pleased to announce the appointment of Leandro Rosado as its Chief Executive Officer. He assumes the role from his previous position as Chief Operations Officer (COO), bringing with him extensive operational experience and a global perspective.
Tero Nummenpää, Chairman of the Executive Board, said: “We are thrilled to have Leandro at the helm of Translink. His vision, operational expertise, and commitment to people-first leadership make him the ideal person to guide our global group into its next phase. We are confident that under his leadership, Translink will continue to thrive and lead with innovation and integrity.”
“Leading Translink into the future is both an honour and a thrilling challenge,” said Leandro. “This is a huge responsibility, and I accept it with pride. My primary goal is to foster a culture of collaboration within the group, which covers more than 35 countries across six continents. I envision Translink evolving into a more agile and coordinated organisation, ready to adapt to challenging environments.”
Bridging strategy and execution
Leandro has also been appointed to Translink’s Executive Board, a move he sees as a key step in aligning execution with strategy. “My appointment to the Board represents a commitment to robust governance and long-term strategic direction. With my dual role as CEO and board member, I aim to bridge the gap between leadership execution and the formal decision-making process.”
In his new role, Leandro will oversee efforts to further expand Translink’s global presence, form strategic alliances, and navigate the complexities of the market. “I recognise the importance of staying ahead in technology, but organisations are led by people,” he said. “So, our focus in the coming years will be twofold: taking care of our people and surrounding them with the best technology tools possible to be able to generate more and better business.”
Investing in the future
As the group marks more than five decades of operation, Leandro is focused on what lies ahead. “Translink’s successful 50-year history of cross-border dealmaking is a testament to our resilience and commitment. To ensure we continue to thrive, we are investing time and resources in people development. Examples of this are some of the programmes we already have in place, like the Translink Academy and the Global Exchange programme, both aimed at nurturing the next generation of corporate finance leaders.”
Leandro concluded: “What excites me most about this new chapter is the potential to make a meaningful impact. My mission is simple: to make Translink Corporate Finance an even better global organisation.”
