Emma Aer joins Franklin Foods

Please meet Emma Aer – the new Managing Director of Franklin Foods. Emma will be taking up her post in January 2021.

Emma is originally from Finland. After completing her degree in economics, she first worked as Brand Manager for Coca-Cola and then went on to work for a mobile gaming company in the United Kingdom. After another six years working for Nokia, she moved to the Finish cheese manufacturer Valio in 2011. The role she held at Valio as the Vice President of Marketing & Categories had a strong international orientation right from the word go. In 2014, she took up the role of Managing Director of Finlandia’s American subsidiary. In 2019, Emma then took over responsibility of the company Reima’s North American operations as its President. Reima produces children’s clothing and only sells its products online. Emma’s European roots and extensive experience working in the USA will further reinforce the bond between Franklin Foods and the Hochland Group. During the first months in her new role, Emma will have Volker Brütting showing her the ropes at both Franklin and Hochland.
