Einar Gjelsvik, CEO
Ellen Bratland, COO & VP HSE

VP Commercial (vacant)
Rebekka Glasser Herlofsen is engaged as management for hire and will continue to act as the company's CFO until a permanent replacement is in place.
Following asset sales of USD 300 million over the last months, the company has also decided to review its organisation and reduce administrative cost. This has resulted in a workforce reduction of approximately 15 percent, mainly at the company's Danish office.
