Statkraft has appointed Tone Skuterud as executive vice president for its new staff area dedicated to people, organisation and sustainability.
Skuterud (pictured left) is currently chief transformation officer at Telenor Norway and has previously worked 12 years at Statkraft. She will take on the role before the start of April.
Statkraft president and chief executive officer Birgitte Ringstad Vartdal (pictured right) said: “I am delighted that Tone Skuterud has accepted the critical role of leading our new staff area dedicated to people, organisation, and sustainability.
“These areas are essential to Statkraft’s ability to deliver on our strategic priorities, including to deliver on a sustainability strategy that differentiates Statkraft in the green transition.
“Tone’s extensive experience in governance, HR, and sustainability will be invaluable in achieving these goals.
“I look forward to welcoming her back to Statkraft and to my corporate management team.”
Skuterud has held several key management roles at Telenor since joining the Norwegian telecom giant in 2017.
She said: “I am honoured to take on this new role at Statkraft, one of Norway’s most valuable and value-creating companies, and an organisation I deeply respect. It feels like coming home.
“The integration of people, organisation, and sustainability is vital for driving organisational success and ensuring long-term value creation.
“I look forward to collaborating with colleagues across the company to strengthen Statkraft’s ability to meet its strategic goals and uphold its commitment to sustainability and stakeholder expectations.”
Skuterud’s appointment completes Statkraft’s new group management team and updated organisational structure, announced by Vartdal in October.
