Norsk Hydro: Eivind Kallevik appointed CEO of Hydro
Eivind Kallevik has been appointed President and CEO of
Norwegian aluminium and renewable energy company Norsk Hydro ASA.
Kallevik succeeds Hilde Merete Aasheim, who has decided to step
down after five years. The appointment will be effective May 13,
2024.
"I am pleased to announce that Eivind Kallevik has accepted the
job as President and CEO of Hydro. Throughout his more than 30
years of experience from Norwegian and international finance and
industry, Eivind has a strong track record of developing the
business, capturing opportunities, and maneuvering the industrial
landscape and markets. I am confident Eivind has what it takes to
lead Hydro towards 2030 and beyond," says Dag Mejdell, chairperson
of Hydro's Board of Directors.
Kallevik is currently Executive Vice President and Head of
Hydro's Aluminium Metal business area, a position he has held since
2019. From 2013 to 2019 he held the position as CFO in Hydro. Prior
to this, Kallevik held several senior management positions in
Hydro, including the Bauxite & Alumina business area and the
downstream aluminium business.
"I am excited to take the next step for Hydro together with our
32,000 competent and engaged employees, with our strategic
direction towards 2030 as a strong foundation. Our low-carbon
efforts throughout our value chain are placing Hydro in a leading
position in the green transition and providing a platform to
accelerate our strategic partnerships. Strong control of our cost
position and continuous improvement efforts will remain the
backbone of Hydro’s operations, combined with our unique
capabilities to develop innovative technologies and commercial
opportunities," says Kallevik.
Hilde Merete Aasheim has been working in Hydro for 17 years and
will leave the company end of June, 2024.
"Hilde Merete Aasheim has led the company through a period where
we have seen significant changes in the world around us. She has
demonstrated a strong ability to manage short-term challenges,
while positioning the company for long-term opportunities together
with the rest of the organization. During her tenure, Hydro has
strengthened profitability and significantly lifted the
sustainability agenda,” says Mejdell.
