Petrofac Appoints Kjell Almskog as Non-Executive Director
Posted: 18 April 2005
Petrofac has further strengthened its board with the appointment of Kjell Almskog as a non-executive director. Almskog brings senior experience gained with a number of international companies in both energy industry and consumer sectors.
After starting his professional career in brand management with Procter & Gamble, Almskog spent some 25 years in various senior executive positions. During 13 years in the ABB group, Kjell was country manager in Norway while, in parallel, developing a substantial and highly successful international oil & gas activity. Ultimately he became executive vice president and head of ABB Oil, Gas and Petrochemicals. In 1998, he moved to Kvaerner as President and CEO with responsibility for executing a major turnaround of that business until its acquisition by Aker in 2001.
Presently, Almskog is senior advisor and non-executive director of several international companies, including Orkla, a large listed Norwegian group involved in branded consumer goods, chemicals and financial investments.
Almskog joins Petrofac’s two other non-executive directors, Bernard de Combret, former deputy chairman of TotalFinaElf, and Michael Press, formerly a senior executive with Standard Oil Company Inc and BP and main board director of Amerada Hess. Ayman Asfari, Petrofac Group Chief Executive, said: “We are delighted to welcome Kjell in his new role as non-executive director. His wealth of industry experience will be of great value in the further development of Petrofac.”
