As VALOR continues on a strong growth track, we are proud to announce the designation of six new partners and four other promotions within our team.
“Since its establishment, the idea behind VALOR has been an open and dynamic ownership structure that reflects partners’ roles in the company. As VALOR has doubled in size every four years, it felt natural to also double the number of partners. The freshly appointed partners have each demonstrated their commitment to the long-term development of VALOR, making this a clear and unanimous decision.” – Henrikki Palva, Managing Partner

- Juha Viljakainen, Partner, Finance
- Kalle Ahlstedt, Partner, Energy
- Johan Matinmikko, Director, Associate Partner
- Tuomas Nenonen, Director, Associate Partner
- Tuomas Suomi, Manager, Associate Partner
