Hanne Aaberg, senior vice president for corporate communication, is to leave Norske Skog for a similar post at Norwegian state-owned power generator Statkraft.

 

With Norske Skog since 1997, Aaberg has held her present position since 2002. The final date of her departure has yet to be determined, and she will remain in post for the present.

 

"I've had nine demanding and interesting years in Norske Skog, and it will be sad to leave," Aaberg says. "At the same time, I'm looking forward to tackling new assignments in Statkraft."

 

"I regret that Aaberg is leaving us, but can nevertheless understand her desire to change job after nine years with the company," says chief executive Christian Rynning-Tønnesen.
