Torgrim has a very strong background to take on the complex challenge as CFO in
Equinor, as we progress our ambition to be a leading company in the energy

Torgrim in my top management team, with his experience as CFO, from our upstream
business, from trading and operations of natural gas, and lastly from the
acceleration of growth in our renewables business," says Anders Opedal,
president and CEO of Equinor.

zero in 2050," says Torgrim Reitan.
