Share:
07 January 2008 - Leif Borge (44) has been appointed chief financial officer at Aker Kvaerner. Borge has served as CFO in various companies since 1994.
We are very pleased that Borge has decided to make Aker Kvaerner the next step of his career. Borge has a strong track record in his previous CFO positions. He brings a leading understanding of the key drivers of success for global industrial players like Aker Kvaerner, says Martinus Brandal, President and CEO of Aker Kvaerner.
Borge will be member of Aker Kvaerner's Executive Management Team. As CFO, Borge will lead parts of corporate staff, including Enterprise risk management, Tax, Controller, Legal, Investor Relations and Corporate Communication. Borge will also be chairman of the board of Aker Kvaerner Business Partner and Aker Kvaerner Advantage. Borge, a Norwegian citizen, holds an MBA from Pacific Lutheran University, Washington state, USA.
This is a great opportunity. I find Aker Kvaerner second to none when considering new challenges. Being a leading global provider of engineering and construction services, technology products and integrated solutions across a number of industries, Aker Kvaerner provides a unique opportunity, says Leif Borge.
Borge, born 1963, has been CFO of Aker Yards ASA since 2002. Previously he has served as CFO of the following companies: Zenitel NV, Stento ASA and Vitana, a subsidiary of Rieber & Søn ASA in the Czech Republic.
Borge succeeds Bjorn Erik Ness. DnB NOR, the leading Norwegian financial institution, today announced that Ness has been appointed CFO.
We are grateful to Bjorn Erik Ness for his strong commitment and contribution to Aker Kvaerner's success over the last three years, a period in which we have delivered sustainable profitable growth, and we wish him all the best in his new position as CFO of DnB Nor, says Brandal.
Bjorn Erik Ness will leave Aker Kvaerner after the completion of the financial statements for 2007.
