Organizational change in Marine Harvest's Group management
Marit Solberg, COO Farming Canada, Scotland, Ireland and the Faroes, has decided
to retire effective 1 November 2018. For more than three decades Marit Solberg
has served in several key roles in Marine Harvest, and we would like to thank
her for her extensive contributions through all these years. Following Marit
Solberg's retirement Marine Harvest has decided to return to its original
management team structure of having one COO Farming position with global
responsibility.

Economics and Business Administration (NHH), and has completed executive
management courses at Solstrand in Norway and Insead in France. He has extensive
experience within salmon farming and sales. He started his career as a
salesperson with Domstein Salmon. In 2002 Gjerde became controller for farming
at Fjord Seafood Norway, which became part of Marine Harvest in 2006. In 2007
Per-Roar Gjerde was appointed Regional Director for Region West, one of the four
business units of Marine Harvest Norway at that time. In January 2016 he moved
to Chile, was appointed Managing Director for Marine Harvest Chile and led the
business restructuring process there.
