As part of the company's growth ambitions, Steen-Hansen has hired Alexander Frøyseth (39) as their new CFO – Chief Financial Officer. Alexander is from Bergen and graduated as a Business Economist with a master's degree in economics and administration from the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH) and the University of New South Wales, Australia. Alexander has a background in shipping, where he has worked as a Finance Manager for GC Rieber Shipping ASA. He has also worked with auditing for the consulting firm Deloitte
"We are very pleased to have Alexander join our team. His experience from shipping brings in new and valuable expertise that will be put to good use; we are now aiming to achieve our ambitious goals for sustainability and development for customers who are increasingly demanding in terms of environment, animal welfare, and quality. The recruitment of highly qualified employees like Alexander shows that Steen-Hansen is an attractive workplace with employees who believe in what we are doing". - says Ulrk Ulriksen, CEO of Steen-Hansen AS.
Steen-Hansen has undergone significant changes recently, with a new, state-of-the-art factory in operation at the beginning of 2022, new owners with Accent Equity as the majority shareholder and a new portfolio of environmentally friendly products. The company also recently opened its own production facility in Chile. Strengthening the management team is a natural step in this development.
