Eirik Børve Monsen will assume the role of CFO no later than April 3, 2025. He
takes over from Roar Snippen, who has been acting CFO since the establishment of
SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge in October 2024.
Monsen has extensive experience from the telecommunications industry, both
nationally and internationally. He was part of the management team in Telenor's
venture in Asia and has 13 years of experience as CFO at Telenor Eiendom, Akva
Group, and Lyse. When Monsen starts in April, he will join SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge
from his role as CEO at Lyse Tele.
"I am very pleased to have Eirik join the team as CFO. He brings us extensive
experience in the finance sector and has significant knowledge of technology and
the mass market, where there are many parallels between banking and
telecommunications" says Inge Reinertsen, CEO of SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge.
Since this fall, SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge has conducted a thorough process to find
the group's new CFO, considering both internal and external candidates.
"I am really looking forward to becoming part of SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge. The
group is one of the most important companies for the business community in our
region, and after the merger this fall, also nationally. I like the strategies
and values that the savings bank stands for, and I have a strong desire to
contribute to further developing this" says Eirik Børve Monsen, incoming CFO of
SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge, who will have Roar Snippen as the assistant CFO going
forward.
SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge is among the country's largest financial groups, with
around 2,500 employees and over 450,000 customers. The group has offices
throughout southern Norway and nearly NOK 400 billion in gross loans to personal
and business customers.
