In collaboration with the rest of the team at VA, I make sure that the company’s plans are realistic and achievable. My focus is continuous development of sustainable strategies that provide a healthy and ethical economy.
  
  My overall responsibility is to establish a financial framework that allows for necessary investments to accomplish a solid ground to grow and achieve greatness. Before joining Viking Aqua I’ve been a banker and a goalkeeper; two talents that allow me to appreciate risk, the importance of safety and the value of a great team.

  I believe that land-based salmon farming and the larger aquaculture industry is standing at a crossroad, with a huge potential for an industry wide disruption driven by technology and a shift in sustainability priorities. Together with the VA team I will work hard to accelerate the change towards a more sustainable industry, and to position VA and our partners to capitalize on opportunities following the change.
  
  Before joining VA, I have spent 20+ years primarily working in the oil and gas industry holding a wide range of roles ranging from advanced numerical modelling to global M&A.
  
  I’m passionate about innovation and scaling technology and technology companies to an industrial scale, making a real difference to the sustainability of our industry.

  The project Viking Aqua has initiated, building a massive, innovative, and sustainable RAS facility for land-based Atlantic salmon production, is the most ambiguous and spectacular project I have ever had the chance to become a part of. Imagine participating in planning, building and growing a company for salmon production from the very beginning, where animal welfare and sustainability are two of the ground pillars of the company! I will make sure our fish thrive, stay healthy, grow well and enjoy their life here at Viking Aqua, from ova to termination.
  
  I came from the field of animal breeding and genetics and had the pleasure to lead the breeding program of the Atlantic salmon strains of a world leading company in breeding and genetics for aquaculture, for the last 6-7 years. In addition, I run a farm with my husband, producing free-range pigs and just recently started wine grape production to produce Norwegian sparkling wine.

  I want to see a difference in the world, I want to see fish farming as a truly sustainable industry. It is not only a global investment in people’s health to produce zero-plastic proteins on land, but also for the future of marine life which have been affected and exploited by humans for far too long. To help this come to fruition, I make sure that my brilliant colleagues always have rapid and top-quality support available and adequate systems and equipment to do their wonders!
  
  Before Viking Aqua I have performed in front of an audience with dolphins as ‘aqua woman’, I have handled life insurance plans for companies and their employees, and I have managed pop stars. Now my stars are our salmon.
