SOHJO Business Event 2026: Thomas Mathews
Product Marketing Director – Abloy Oy (ASSA ABLOY Group), Business Growth Leader
Nasdaq’s Q&A with ABLOY & Closing Bell Ceremony
How do you build a business that’s globally respected and locally rooted?
Thomas Mathews, Product Marketing Director at Abloy Oy, works at exactly that intersection. Abloy is one of the world’s most iconic names in security technology, Finland’s most valued brand, and part of ASSA ABLOY, the global leader in access solutions — proudly operating from Joensuu, Finland.
Based in Joensuu and working across international markets, Thomas focuses on how industrial companies renew themselves, turn deep expertise into business value, and build global competitiveness beyond major hubs. His background spans international business development, strategy, and product leadership, with a perspective centered on balancing trust, innovation, and long-term growth.
At SOHJO 2026, Thomas joins Nasdaq’s Erja Retzén on the Susicorn Stage for a special Q&A session exploring what it means to lead innovation in a highly trusted legacy brand with the support of ASSA ABLOY, and how a company built on more than a century of expertise continues to evolve in a fast-changing world.
As the grand finale to the session, Thomas and Erja take the spotlight together for something truly rare in the Nordics: the iconic Nasdaq Closing Bell Ceremony, performed live at SOHJO. More than just a bell – it’s a symbol of partnership, ambition and the global potential of the Joensuu business ecosystem.
We’re thrilled to welcome Thomas Mathews to SOHJO stage as part of ABLOY x SOHJO partnership.
