Success Story: Nordic Energy Company

5/5 stars from a Nordic energy company for their match with Pia Virtanen!


A leadership gap covered with confidence 


In late 2023, a Nordic energy company faced a leadership gap when a member of their management team went on parental leave. To ensure business continuity in the critical role, the company turned to Ferovalo for an interim solution.

The energy company needed an interim leader to take charge of sustainability, communications, and staff development. The assignment opening was posted on Best Best Talent Platform on the 6th of November, and BBTP Members had one week to express their interest.  

Out of all motivated candidates, 3 of the most suitable were chosen for an interview, and in the end, one was chosen for the role: Pia Virtanen. In her application, Pia was able to give concrete examples to highlight her experience in human resources, communications, and strategic development.  

 

A full-time resource to cover parental leave 

Ferovalo's interim expert hit the ground running at the start of 2024 and provided crucial continuity for the energy company for 18 months.  

The CEO who sought Ferovalo’s assistance in the first place gave a 5 out of 5-star review for the match and only had positive things to say about the interim expert: 

“Pia is a cheerful, open and always helpful person with a in-built desire to continuously learn new things and take action without prejudice. She quickly familiarized herself with a completely new industry and most of all won the hearts of their new team / entire organization.” 

The CEO was impressed with Pia's skill and dedication throughout the parental leave and would happily turn to Ferovalo again if a new need arises— whether to cover another parental leave, to fill an unexpected leadership gap, or to boost growth with short-term expertise.
