Christian Berg is to join Wilh. Wilhelmsen Holding as its new CFO in April, succeeding Nils P Dyvik, who plans to retire.
Berg will join the Oslo-listed company from his position as senior partner and head of credit in HitecVision, a European private-equity company focused on the offshore oil and gas industry.
Previously, he held the positions of CEO and CFO of Hafslund, one of Scandinavia’s largest listed utility companies.
“I have had the great pleasure and privilege of working with Nils P Dyvik for many years. He has been with our group for almost three decades, and has decided to step down according to his retirement agreement,” Thomas Wilhelmsen, group CEO, said in a release today.
Dyvik plans to continue to work with restructuring and investment advice, and will continue to have some engagements for the Wilhelmsen group going forward, the company said.
