TFL announces leadership changes
Leather chemicals specialist TFL has confirmed a series of leadership updates that it says will strengthen its long-term growth plans.

Effective September 1, 2025, chief commercial officer will be Samer Al Jabi (pictured right), who joined TFL in March 2025 and has played a key role in shaping the company’s five-year strategic plan. He brings extensive experience in the chemical industry, having led global businesses, developed high-performing teams and overseen acquisitions.

On July 1, 2025, Kaija Korolainen (left) was appointed group chief people officer. She is responsible for leading TFL’s people strategy, with a focus on building an inclusive, high-performing culture.

Chief operating officer, Henrik Pedersen, will retire on January 1, 2026, after nearly 21 years with TFL. The company has begun the search for his successor.

“These leadership appointments reflect our commitment to strengthening TFL’s strategic and people agenda while ensuring continuity in our operations,” said chief executive, André Lanning.
