New Group Executive Board at Orkla - focus on the branded goods business
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The heads of the four business units in Orkla Brands will now be members of
Orkla's Group Executive Board. Håkon Mageli has been appointed Executive Vice
President, Corporate Communications and Corporate Affairs.
"Orkla will now have a Group executive management with solid branded goods
expertise and a dedicated corporate centre to serve the branded goods companies.
Orkla is thereby taking an important step towards transforming the Group into a
pure branded goods company," says Orkla President and CEO Åge Korsvold.
As from 1 June, Orkla's Group Executive Board will consist of President and CEO
Åge Korsvold, business area heads Atle Vidar Johansen (Orkla Foods Nordic), Jan-
Ove Rivenes (Orkla Brands Nordic), Pål Eikeland (Orkla Food Ingredients) and
Paul Jordahl (Orkla Brands International), and Executive Vice Presidents Terje
Andersen, Karin Aslaksen, Karl Otto Tveter and Håkon Mageli. As a result of
Orkla divesting its industry businesses, Sapa CEO Svein Tore Holsether has been
relieved of other Group functions in order to concentrate fully on Sapa and the
current processes in the company. He is therefore withdrawing from the Group
Executive Board, but will continue to report to President and CEO Åge Korsvold.
Håkon Mageli will be responsible for Corporate Communications and Corporate
Affairs, which includes governmental affairs, food safety and nutrition.
