The CEO (toimitusjohtaja) runs company operations under the board. In Finland, the CEO is not an employee under the Employment Contracts Act but a corporate officer — collective agreements don't apply and compensation is governed by an individual management contract.

The €8,500 monthly median reflects Finnish SME CEOs (50–250 employees). Listed company CEOs earn far more: total compensation for executives at Kone, Neste, and Nokia ranges from €1–5 million annually once equity-based pay is included. Performance bonuses can double base pay in strong years.
