Brønnøysund native Kaia Stokkvold (36) assumed the position of Head of Finance and Administration at AkvaFuture in January.
After six years at Torghatten, where she held roles as Accounting Manager and Controller, she now steps into a position within an entirely new industry.
“This is a new and exciting industry that I look forward to getting to know and gaining deeper insight into. I enter this role with strong interest and a willingness to learn, particularly with regard to biological production,” says Stokkvold.
Kaia spent 11 years in Trondheim, where she earned her Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration from NTNU Business School. She later worked at Reitan and the consulting firm EY.
In 2019, she moved back to Brønnøysund with her husband and children and continued her career at Torghatten. She now brings this experience with her into AkvaFuture.
“I have worked in fast-paced environments with many parallel tasks, and I have seen how important it is for people to pull in the same direction. When people thrive and trust each other, results are created over time.”
At Akvafuture, she becomes part of a smaller organization, offering a different dynamic than she is accustomed to. At the same time, the company is in a phase of preparing for growth, making culture and collaboration particularly important, which is exactly what motivates her in the new role.
“We are a small company with short decision-making paths. I want to contribute to growth and help us build a strong team and a solid company together, with innovative solutions for the industry.”
She describes her start as very positive:
“I have been warmly welcomed by skilled and friendly colleagues, and I am very much looking forward to what lies ahead.”
