“As we reorganize the finance function of Norva24, I am happy that Stein again is taking on a comprehensive responsibility as CFO. I’m looking forward to working even closer with him going forward. With his strategic mindset, solid track record and unique experience from many years at Norva24 and other publicly listed international growth businesses Stein will be a valuable driver for Norva24’s development as we advance,” said CEO of Norva24 Henrik Norrbom.

Stein Yndestad joined Norva24 as CFO in 2017 and in his role as CFO in the years leading up to the IPO he played a pivotal role in building Norva24 into the Norther European market leader in UIM, and getting the company listed on the main list of Nasdaq Stockholm.

As part of the new organization of the finance function, Henrik Oksnes will take the newly established role as finance director with responsibility for financial planning, business controlling, business intelligence, performance management, and compliance.
