  • Stig Herman Hästö (19 March 1918 – 14 September 1997) was a Finnish jurist, businessman and vuorineuvos. Hästö was born in Pori, but his family moved to Viipuri soon after. After the early death of his father, his mother worked hard as an entrepreneur to provide for her family. The Second World War interrupted Hästö's studies; he was wounded in the Karelian isthmus in 1944. He graduated as jurist in 1946. Hästö worked as delegate for employers' association STK in 1948–1957. In 1957 Hästö started working for the textile company Finlayson and became the company manager in 1962. Despite the board's resistance to change, he modernized the company to meet the challenges of free trade. New problems came during recession in the 1970s. Hästö left Finlayson and went again to work for the employers' association in 1979, when he was selected manager of TKL. While the work was easy due to good times, Hästö fell in an uncomfortable situation during presidential elections of 1982, when a large part of the association supported Ahti Karjalainen for president, while Hästö tried to remain neutral. Hästö retired in 1983 after which he worked in some international positions of trust and foreign trade. For instance, his trip to Atlanta during this time helped establish a foothold for Finnish companies to get established there, especially in the pulp and paper industry. He wrote his memoirs and a book about summer 1944 in Viipuri. (en)
