Pekka Metsaranta is CEO and founder of Sisua, a program management consultancy named after the Finnish concept of inner strength, resilience and determination. Before consultancy, Pekka served as a second lieutenant in the Finnish Defence Forces and the leadership principles he learned there, humility and leading from the front, are baked into everything he has built since.
In this conversation, Craig and Pekka explore how those military principles translate into a consultancy culture, what it really takes to grow from a founding idea to one of the UK's top independent project consultancies, and why radical transparency might be the most powerful tool in a leader's kit.
This is a practical, experience-led conversation with a consultancy leader who has operated inside complex programmes, built a team from scratch and learned what it really takes to grow a firm people actually want to work for.
Host: Craig Herd, MD at Consultancy Growth
Guest: Pekka Metsaranta, CEO and Founder at Sisua
