Rødland became Seadrill’s chairman in November 2019, succeeding Fredriksen.
“For me, now is the right time to hand over the reins, the restructuring has been complex and multi-faceted and I have every confidence the board will guide the deal over the line,” said Rødland.
Rødland is chairman of offshore accommodation specialist Prosafe and consultancy AqualisBraemar and is a former partner of Ferncliff and HitecVision.
