Tell us about your background and expertise
I have a business education and have spent a total of 20 years in various sales roles in the gas industry. My specialist expertise includes understanding customer needs and working as a Key Account Manager.
What would you like to tell us about yourself?
My family includes my wife, two children and a dog. My hobbies include sailing, spending time at our cottage, skiing and walking the dog. History and the archipelago are among my main interests.
Where are energy markets heading?
The energy sector has undergone major changes in recent years, but gas will remain an important part of the Finnish energy mix. Gas exchange prices fell significantly last year from the peaks of the previous year, restoring confidence in the price competitiveness of gas.
What are customers particularly interested in at the moment?
Customers are particularly interested in gas price trends and alternative fuels. The energy crisis following the war in Ukraine had a significant impact on the market and temporarily slowed the transition to greener energy, such as biogas. After the war began, customers were especially interested in security of gas supply and price fixing to gain visibility over energy prices in the months ahead.
What will become more important in the future, and what should we take into account?
I believe the ability to offer customers packages tailored to their needs will become particularly important. We need to consider the role of natural gas and biogas in the future energy mix. Industry is clearly electrifying, but gas will continue to have its own role in the energy market.
