Paavola’s LinkedIn post doesn’t sound like the next steps are clear at this point:
As announced yesterday, after four great years at Nightingale Health, it is now a good time for me to move on to new challenges.
During the four years, we managed to develop the finance and people functions to support the growth strategy of the company and be ready for the main market listing at Nasdaq Helsinki, which took place earlier this year. The company is now in a good place to continue its commercial growth and therefore I feel confident to hand over the baton. I want to thank all the Nightingale people and stakeholders for the amazing journey and wish you all the best!
For me, after 20 years of grinding without ever taking a longer break, now it feels like a good time to take a moment to reflect about the next step at least over the holiday season. Happy to go for a lunch or have a cup of coffee to share reflections about life, the peculiarities of the universe, or why not about some future possibilities. Drop me a line
Best regards and happy holidays,
Tuukka
It’s said that he confidently passed the baton, but to my ear, it still sounds more like the initiative came from the company’s side.
Interestingly, the previous CFO left after an 11-month tenure, a month before the listing. I understand that the task might specifically be to prepare the company for it, but it still feels strange that the process wouldn’t have been seen through to the end.
