Yara Marine Technologies is staffing up to enable a greener maritime industry

Moving towards a broader portfolio of green technologies, Yara Marine Technologies onboards new key employees to the company.

– I am looking forward to create results with our new and dedicated colleagues. They are adding valuable experience and knowledge to our company that is continuously growing. And most important of all, is that they share our ambition to ensure a healthy planet for future generations, says Thomas Koniordos, CEO, Yara Marine Technologies.

Jon Halvard Bolstad Olsen is new to the role as Director Strategic Business Development. Olsen has his background from the Wilhelmsen group working both operationally and with business development on a corporate level. For the last years, he worked with strategy and business development in Hydro.

– I truly believe in YMT’s strategic direction and want to be a part of that voyage. Finding technologies and solutions that enable a greener maritime industry has always been a favourite topic, Olsen says.

Stefan Petersson is appointed the new Head of Engineering. He left the role as Head of Project Management in Johnson Matthey and has broad experience from Operations and Manufacturing in large global companies within automotive and maritime sectors, including TTS and MacGregor.

– My expectation is a growing and dynamic company full of energy about the new and exciting products. I hope to contribute with pragmatic structure and perhaps new way of looking at the value flow and a clear ownership of deliveries, Petersson says.
