Change in Elkem's corporate management

Morten Magnus Voll has been appointed as Elkem's Senior Vice President (SVP) for Strategy and Business Development. He replaces Frederic Jacquin who has decided to take on a senior leadership role in Adisseo, a Sinochem Group company.

Morten Magnus Voll will start in his role as SVP for Strategy and Business Development from 1 February 2023. In the new role, he will be responsible for corporate strategy and business development, including mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and new growth projects supporting all of Elkem's business divisions.

Voll comes from the role of VP Finance, IT and Supply Chain for the Silicones division in Elkem. He has close to 19 years’ experience in the company, including several global leadership roles. He started in the company as a business analyst and holds a Master of Technology degree from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).

He has been appointed Chief Operation Officer and Deputy General Manager in Adisseo, a leading global provider of animal nutrition, where Sinochem Group is among the main shareholders.

“I am very pleased that Morten has accepted the opportunity to use his experience in the role of head of Elkem's strategy and business development, and I look forward to having him as a member of the corporate management team. I would also like to thank Fred for his decades of dedicated service to Elkem. We have benefitted strongly from his leadership both in the corporate management team, at the corporate level and in the Silicones division, and we wish him all the best in his new role,” says Elkem's CEO, Helge Aasen.
