“I want to warmly thank Olli for his great work for Orion. It is of course a pity when such a proficient and experienced leader wants to leave. However, as much as we would like to keep him with the company, we must respect his decision. We are pleased that Olli has agreed to continue working at Orion for a sufficient period in order to ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities and introduction of his successor. This also reflects Olli as a person − he always wants to make sure that the company’s interests are taken care of.”
Olli Huotari says:
“I have always appreciated and been very grateful for all the positions and career Orion has offered to me. Orion is a great company with great people. Until the end of May 2025, I will continue working for the company and will do my best so that my successor will have the best possible start in the new position. After that, I will move to the next phase of my life.”
