As part of its commitment to market readiness and future growth, Gen2 Energy has implemented a strategic leadership transition effective 1st August. This change marks a key step in strengthening our position for the next phase of growth and successful delivery.
Lena Halvari has been appointed the new Chief Executive Officer of Gen2 Energy. She succeeds Kjetil Bøhn, who has transitioned into the new role as Head of Strategy and Finance, where he will focus on securing financing and advancing strategic partnerships to build the foundation for the company’s success going forward.
“This change in leadership reflects the company’s strategic journey as we move into a new phase of execution”, says Chairman of the Board, Bård Mikkelsen.
Lena Halvari brings extensive experience from the Energy, Airline and Maritime industries. She knows Gen2 Energy well from her time at the company’s Board of Directors, alongside the past six months as Deputy CEO contributing to internal operations and strategic planning.
“Having been an active member of the Board over the last 1.5 years and working as an executive over the past six months, I am excited and honoured to support the company’s extensive growth plans as the new CEO, ensuring we meet our targets and deliver on our ambitious business plan”, says Lena Halvari.
Kjetil Bøhn, previous CEO, steps into a focused executive function that leverages his deep expertise and successful track record in corporate finance, deal-making and strategic growth.
“By dedicating my full attention to capital raising and strategic transactions, I can focus on what excites me the most and where I think I add the most value”, Kjetil Bøhn says.
This change positions Gen2 Energy to strengthen its focus on execution while ensuring financial readiness and strategic momentum in the developing hydrogen market.
The company continues to be a key contributor to the development of the hydrogen value chain and looks forward to delivering zero-emission, liquid green hydrogen to key sectors such as the maritime industry and emerging green hydrogen markets.
