Horisont Energi AS – Appointment of new CEO
Sandnes, 01.10.2025 – Horisont Energi AS ("Horisont Energi", ticker: HRGI) announces that the Board of Directors, constituted 01.10.2025, has appointed Brita Holstad, as the company’s new Chief Executive Officer, effective 02.10.2025.
Ms. Holstad joined Horisont Energi in May 2024 and is currently the company’s Chief Commercial Officer.
The appointment of Holstad marks an important step in setting a new direction for Horisont Energi following the entry of NOS Group as the new majority owner. Ms. Holstad brings extensive leadership experience and industry knowledge, and the Board is confident she will play a key role in driving the company’s strategy and development going forward.

Kallestad will act as an advisor to the board and management until the end of the year.
The Board looks forward to working closely with Ms. Holstad as Horisont Energi enters a new phase of growth and development.
