Tiia Ryhänen
General counsel | Korkia
What are the projects that you are most proud of working on over the past 12 months?
I started as General Counsel at Korkia approximately four months ago. Already, during my short journey so far with the company, we have succeeded in securing critical financing to meet the diverse funding needs of our renewable energy projects around the globe. Also, the successful progress in our renewable energy exit transactions has made me extremely proud to work alongside my great legal team and other colleagues.
How do you approach managing legal aspects during periods of instability or crisis to ensure the organisation’s resilience?
It is in Korkia’s DNA that our business environment and energy market conditions are constantly evolving. We have managed to employ people who get excited about change and see opportunities during periods of instability. In a multinational company, complexity is easily multiplied with expansion into new markets. A strong culture with a ‘can-do’ attitude, low hierarchy, agile decision-making capabilities, and clear governance rules guide the company through turbulent times. Celebrating the company’s success together strengthens the resilience that carries us through tough times.
