Telenor names new CFO

Jørgen Rostrup

Norway-based telco Telenor has named Jørgen Rostrup as its new chief financial officer.

Rostrup, who is currently president of Yara North America, will join the Telenor management team by November 1 at the latest. He will report to CEO Sigve Brekke.

Acting CFO Morten Karlsen Sørby will assume the new role of chief transformation officer when Arentz takes up his role.

“I am pleased that Jørgen Rostrup has decided to take on the position as Telenor Group’s new CFO. Jørgen has a strong background from managerial posts in some of Norway’s leading companies, both locally in Norway and globally from four continents. Both his exposure to international management and not the least his experience serving as CFO in Hydro for several years make him very well suited as our new CFO,” said Brekke.
