About Kimmo Soramäki

Kimmo Soramäki is the Founder and CEO of FNA and the founding Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Network Theory in Finance. Kimmo started his career as an economist at the Bank of Finland where he developed in 1997 the first simulation model for interbank payment systems. In 2004 while at the research department of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, he was among the first to apply methods from network theory to improve our understanding of financial systems. During the financial crisis of 2007-2008 Kimmo advised several central banks, including the Bank of England and European Central Bank, in modeling interconnections and systemic risk. This work led him to found FNA in 2010 to develop software for solving important issues around financial risk and for exploring the complex financial networks that play a continually larger role in the world around us. FNA now helps financial authorities and market infrastructures to make the financial system safer and more efficient. Kimmo holds a Doctor of Science in Operations Research and a Master of Science in Economics, both from Aalto University in Helsinki.
