Norcod strengthens management team to accelerate profitable growth

Norcod, the leading pioneer in sustainable, naturally raised cod, is pleased to announce that it has appointed Chris Guldberg as Chief Communications Officer (CCO).

Guldberg has broad management experience from a range of companies and industries, including the Norwegian Seafood Council, the listed oil services company EMGS, SINTEF and his current position at the ICT company Norsk helsenett.

His strategic and operational experience covers communications, international branding and marketing, sustainability, investor relations and capital markets.

"Norcod has moved from proof-of-concept to industrial scale production of sustainable, premium cod. In this new phase of our growth path, Guldberg will play a key role in building the market and cod category," says Christian Riber, CEO of Norcod.

Guldberg also brings with him valuable experience in management as well as organisational and commercial development. A large part of his role will therefore be to optimise and develop the organisation for profitable growth.

"I am confident that his energy, competence and experience will be a great asset to our company," says Riber.

Guldberg will take up his new role in April.

"I look forward to returning to the seafood industry and joining what I believe is one of the most exciting companies around. Norcod's development since it was founded in 2018, as well as its commitment to sustainability, innovation and high-quality products, is impressive and inspiring," says Guldberg.

"I can't wait to join the company and contribute to taking Norcod and the cod farming industry to the next level."
