Komplett ASA: Thomas Røkke appointed new CFO
Sandefjord, 21 September 2022: Thomas Røkke has been appointed Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Komplett ASA, effective from 1 March 2023. Mr Røkke will succeed Krister A. Pedersen, who has decided to resign from his position. Mr Pedersen will remain CFO of Komplett ASA until Mr Røkke takes up his new role in order to ensure a good transition.
"I want to thank Krister for his valuable contribution as CFO during a transformational period for the Komplett Group. He played an instrumental part in Komplett ASA’s listing on Oslo Stock Exchange and in the recent acquisition of NetOnNet, which has doubled our market position," says Lars Olav Olaussen, CEO of Komplett.
“I am pleased to welcome Thomas Røkke to the management team. With his background and experience, he will play an important role in Komplett’s value creation going forward," Lars Olav Olaussen adds.
Since December 2018, Thomas Røkke (54) has held the position of Group CFO of Saferoad. He previously held similar senior positions at FristadsKansas Group (formerly Kwintet), headquartered in Sweden, and the Danish diversified food business Løgismose Meyers. Further, Mr Røkke has broad international experience in operational management positions and strategy consulting. He holds a master’s degree in addition to a PhD in Finance & Accounting from the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland.
“I am very thankful for three eventful years in Komplett and for me it feels right at this stage to explore other opportunities outside the CFO role. With its online-first business model, leading cost position and synergy potential, I rest assured that Komplett is well positioned for future growth and value creation,” says CFO Krister A. Pedersen.
