Horisont Energi’s extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on this week formally approved the amendment of the Articles of Association which allows the board to appoint two CEOs as a collective body.

Following the EGM and in line with the announcement on 17 January of the board’s intent, the board yesterday (8 February) has resolved to implement the co-CEO body effective 9 February 2024. The board thereafter appointed the following as co-CEOs (alphabetical order):

- Bjørgulf Haukelidsæter Eidesen
- Leiv Kallestad

The adoption of a co-CEO structure reflects that Horisont Energi has adapted a new company group structure with several business line subsidiaries. The strengthening of the governance structure will both enable and secure key deliveries and maintain the focus on efficiency of operations and cost control.

Going forward, Mr. Haukelidsæter Eidesen will focus on the strengthening of existing and building of new external relationships, whereas Mr. Kallestad will focus on enhancing the project delivery capabilities while maintaining his responsibilities related to finance.

Dr Gabriël Clemens, chair of the board of Horisont Energi, welcomes these decisions and wishes both co-CEOs success in their new roles.
