Korkia is pleased to announce the promotion of Kristina Sweet to Vice President, Canada. Under her leadership, Korkia has developed one of the largest single solar development portfolios in Alberta, with close to 1 GW of late-phase projects advancing toward construction.
Kristina has played a pivotal role in establishing and leading Korkia’s Canadian operations, taking full end-to-end ownership of the company’s growth in Alberta. In addition to advancing the project pipeline, she has built Korkia’s local presence from the ground up, positioning the company for long-term success in Canada. This achievement reflects several years of focused development work, strong commercial execution, and resilience in a dynamic and evolving market environment.
“Kristina’s promotion is a recognition of her exceptional leadership and the remarkable progress we have made in Canada,” said Pauli Mäenpää, Group CEO of Korkia. “Building a portfolio of this scale in a competitive market undergoing transformation requires vision, determination, and strong commercial capabilities.
