We are delighted to have Laura back in our key business initiatives and to announce that Tuukka Paavola will join Nightingale as the new CFO. Tuukka’s work history and achievements are impressive, and he has demonstrated the needed skills and attitude to reach ambitious goals under high pressure. I am confident that his background from vice president positions in finance coupled with business leadership will contribute to Nightingale’s success.”
