Aker's new CEO
Krill oil supplier Aker BioMarine had two new appointments. First up was the announcement that Matts Johansen was taking over as CEO from Hallvard Muri
Johansen (38) comes from the position as COO where he led the development and execution efforts of the company’s commercial strategy. He has been with Aker BioMarine for five years.
“Aker BioMarine has appointed a talented leader with a vision of how to take the company into the future,” said Kjell Inge Røkke, principal shareholder and Chairman of Aker ASA.
Muri has chosen to step down after almost seven years in the position. Muri will join the company’s board of directors.
“I’m extremely grateful for the work Hallvard has done for Aker BioMarine and I’m happy that he will continue to be a part of Aker going forward,” said Røkke.
“Under Hallvard’s leadership, the company has become a global market leader in the krill-based ingredients sector. With a near 40 per cent annual revenue growth, Aker BioMarine is now a well-run company that has moved past its challenging financial situation.”
