The board of Norsk Tipping has appointed Trond Bentestuen as new CEO
Press release -
Chairwoman Sylvia Brustad is very satisfied with the appointment.
- I am pleased that Trond Bentestuen has been appointed as the new CEO. Trond's broad management experience and personal qualities make me confident that he is the right person for Norsk Tipping when the company is to deliver on its adopted main ambitions of a society without gambling problems, world-class digital customer experiences and a strong force for change, says Brustad.
Bentestuen has extensive experience as a senior manager in various parts of the business world. He is currently CEO of Maxbo. Previously, he was CEO of Rema 1000, and has held several top positions in DNB.
– Ensuring that responsible gaming and the prevention of gambling addiction are combined with efficient operations that ensure that as much of the revenue as possible goes to good causes is a balancing act. I believe we best balance these considerations within the framework of the exclusive model. Norsk Tipping as the exclusive provider of gambling is dependent on a high level of trust in society. We must then deliver on our social mission, but also through good offers and services to our customers. I look forward to getting to know those for whom Norsk Tipping exists: the customers, sports, volunteering, culture – and the owners, says Bentestuen.
He takes over from Vegar Strand, who has been acting CEO since this summer.
It has not been finally clarified when Bentestuen will take office.
