About

As Head of Finance at Specsavers Norway, I lead the finance and strategy functions of the largest optical retailer in the Nordic region. With over 5 years of experience in this role, I have developed strong analytical skills and expertise in financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and controlling. I have also contributed to the growth and profitability of the company by supporting strategic initiatives, optimizing processes, and ensuring compliance. Prior to joining Specsavers Norway, I held senior finance and operations positions at ARK Bokhandel and Kärcher AS, where I gained valuable experience in the retail and cleaning sectors. I am passionate about delivering excellence in finance and supporting the vision and mission of Specsavers Norway, which is to provide quality eye care and affordable glasses to everyone. I am also motivated by the opportunity to work with a diverse and talented team of professionals who share the same values and goals.
