Heli Antila and Jari Suominen, who joined the VALOR team during spring 2026, have strengthened the company’s expertise particularly in the energy, bioeconomy, and forest industries, as well as in practical business development. Their experience helps clients advance industrial growth initiatives, strategic development projects, business transformation efforts, and the resolution of operational challenges.
VALOR’s strong expertise and proven track record in the energy sector were key factors that convinced both Heli and Jari that VALOR was the right place to broaden their professional capabilities and take the next step into consulting. Heli and Jari have brought fresh perspectives and new initiatives to VALOR while quickly becoming integrated into project teams and everyday life at the company. Both have particularly appreciated how easy it has been to become part of the team.
“What has impressed me most is the exceptional expertise, agility, and dedication of the people at VALOR. Everyone has the opportunity to take initiative and make an impact, while at the same time there is a genuine sense of working toward shared goals. The welcoming atmosphere, low hierarchy, and relaxed culture have helped me quickly become familiar with the company’s ways of working and its projects,” says Jari.
“It has been a pleasure to work alongside such talented professionals while continuously learning new things myself. At VALOR, diverse backgrounds and expertise are genuinely valued, and that is clearly reflected in everyday work,” Heli adds.
