Organisational changes
At the same time, the following changes will be made to the organisation of Sparebanken Norge:
Steinar Breen, Executive Vice President, Strategy and Projects, will step down from the Group Executive Management to take responsibility for major strategic projects, initially the major investment in the new head office in Kristiansand:
– Delivering this construction project is of major strategic importance and will require dedicated attention from the bank, says Kjerpeseth.
– A new head office in the heart of Kristiansand is an investment in people, expertise and value creation. The building will become a hub for development, innovation and collaboration, and will play a central role in strengthening both the bank and the region in the years ahead. I look forward to creating a head office that brings together the most attractive knowledge-based jobs in Southern Norway through the renewal of one of the city’s most iconic buildings, says Steinar Breen.
The bank’s Strategy and Projects department will be transferred to the Technology division under Executive Vice President, Technology and Development, Siren Sundland.
