Meet Sigmund
Sigmund has named his holding company after Settlers of Catan – that’s how much he loves this board game. He is responsible for following up on the financial results of our portfolio companies, and he knows accounting, tax regulations, and corporate law better than anyone. Sigmund has one child, and if he ever gets twins, he will name them Debet and Credit.
Meet Einar
Einar grew up on a farm and likes to plough through annual reports in search of hidden treasures. He is responsible for our investments in listed companies and has a strong, unwavering value-investor mindset. As an engineer, Einar prefers Python to Excel.
Meet Håkon
Håkon is the most athletic member of the team and runs more than seven miles a week. His background is in consulting, and his main competencies are software/technology, consumer goods and old Excel formulas. Håkon has two small children.
Meet Renate
Renate is the deputy mayor of Randaberg and a passionate vegetarian. She is responsible for the day-to-day operations of our headquarters, Bethel. Renate has a dog and three children.
Meet Eirik
Eirik was in his time a professional handball player (zero pressure for his two sons). Areas of expertise are in industry as well as being a general banking, accounting, auditing and compliance wizard. Eirik wishes he had a dog.
Meet Stig
Stig has been a football coach at thousands of matches and completed two half marathons in 2023 – after not having run for twenty years. He stays in the office until the inbox is empty, and his area of expertise is property development. Stig has four children and a small dog called AC Milan.
Meet Erlend
Erlend rolled around on a skateboard all over Stavanger as a child and is far out on the extrovert scale. He is responsible for our real estate business. Erlend has three children and no cats.
Meet Ingrid
Ingrid bought her first microeconomics book when she was twelve, so we are quite sure she feels right at home as an investor at Øgreid. Ingrid has a background in consulting and is the leader of our operational excellence initiatives.
Meet Eirik
Eirik grew up analyzing shares and thinking about value investments. His areas of expertise are industry, oil services and the food and beverage industry. He has two young children and three cats, and he uses the gym a lot.
Meet Halvor
Halvor would not have passed the job interview at Øgreid but makes up for it by being creative and allergic to social conformity and consensus investments. He has three children, a dog and five ducks.
