Odfjell Drilling Ltd. announces that Frode Skage Syslak, Chief Financial
Officer, has decided to step down from his role no later than 1 September 2025
to assume the position as Senior Vice President, Finance. He will be succeeded
as CFO by Ørjan Lunde.
Ørjan Lunde is currently the CEO of Kristian Gerhard Jebsen Skipsrederi AS, a
renowned Norwegian shipowner, where he was CFO from 2019 before taking the role
as CEO in January 2024. Ørjan held several key roles within finance management
in Odfjell Drilling from 2015 to 2019. Prior to this, he held CFO positions at
Ocea and Reef Subsea. Ørjan holds a Master’s degree from the Norwegian School of
Economics (NHH) and began his career in EY in 2000 before moving to Nordea in
2007.
Kjetil Gjersdal, CEO of Odfjell Drilling AS says: “I would like to thank Frode
Skage Syslak for excellent execution during his three years as CFO. His
dedication and expertise have played a key role in steering Odfjell Drilling to
the outstanding position we hold today. I am pleased that Frode will continue to
work for us in a key position.
“We are also pleased to welcome Ørjan Lunde back to the company and are
confident that his strategic capabilities and top management experience will
greatly contribute to our continued success.”
Frode Skage Syslak says: “It has been a true privilege to serve as CFO in
Odfjell Drilling since we spun off Odfjell Technology in March 2022. Working
closely with our high-performing team to deliver superior shareholder returns
and to position Odfjell Drilling for long-term success has been incredibly
rewarding, but I now look forward to transitioning into a new role with a
slightly different focus and responsibility.”
