Sari Jussila, an M.Sc. (Econ.), joins Dovre Group Plc as interim chief financial officer and member of the executive management team effective April 13, 2026, succeeding Timo Saarinen.

Saarinen, who has served as interim CFO and executive management team member since September 29, 2025, will leave the company on April 12, 2026, after informing the board of his decision to step down, Dovre Group Plc announced today.

The transition comes as Dovre navigates significant financial challenges, including ongoing debt restructuring proceedings following the bankruptcy of its key subsidiary Suvic Oy. The hard times have been accompanied by a management shake-up. Besides several appointments last year, Dovre hired a new CEO this year, naming Suvic chief Markku Taskinen as its CEO, according to Listeds data.

Dovre Group Plc is a Finland-based project management and consulting company focused on renewable energy, infrastructure, and industrial sectors. The company’s financial position deteriorated sharply in 2025 due to major losses in wind power projects within Suvic Oy, culminating in the subsidiary’s bankruptcy in January 2026 and pushing the parent company into insolvency and restructuring. Interim CFO Saarinen was brought in during 2025 to help stabilize financial reporting and improve transparency amid mounting project losses.

Chairman of the Board Kalervo Rötsä commented on Saarinen's departure. “I would like to warmly thank Timo for his time and contribution at Dovre. He took on the role of CFO in a challenging situation and has played an important role in company’s efforts to handle the challenging conditions. At the same time, I welcome Sari to her new roles.”
