HENNING OLSEN APPOINTED NEW CEO OF NRC GROUP ASA

In the summer of 2018, CEO Øivind Horpestad announced to the Board of Directors that he wanted to resign as the CEO of NRC Group during 2019. Since that time, the Board of Directors has worked actively to find his replacement.

During the last nine years, Horpestad has been central in the establishment and development of NRC Group. First as founder and managing director of Team Bane before entering the position as CEO of NRC Group during spring 2016. Over the past few years, NRC Group has established itself as the leading Nordic rail infrastructure entrepreneur. Through multiple mergers and acquisitions NRC Group has now a strong platform for further growth and development. Øivind has been crucial to this development, and the Board of Directors would like to thank Horpestad for the important role he has had in NRC Group.

At a Board meeting held the 19th of March, Henning Olsen was appointed as the new CEO of NRC Group.

Henning Olsen comes from the position as executive vice president in AF Gruppen, where he has been responsible for the Building business area in Norway since 2016. His previous roles in AF Gruppen include head of AF Eiendom, financial director within AF Bygg Oslo and group controller. Before joining AF Gruppen in 2010, he has been employed at Statkraft and Boston Consulting Group. Olsen holds a Master of Science degree in Business from BI Norwegian Business School (2003).

Olsen has extensive experience from leading a project-oriented organisation, including project management, strategy and business development, and M&A. The Board of Directors believe that Olsen has the professional and personal qualities that are required to lead and further develop NRC Group, and is very excited that he will enter his new role during this spring.
