Sørvaag Sperre will step into the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) starting October 1, 2024. He takes over from Kristian Røkke, who is set to become the Chairman of the Board. This transition signals a strategic shift as Aker Horizons continues its journey toward a sustainable future.
Lars P. Sørvaag Sperre is no stranger to the complexities of industrial development. With a robust background in capital markets and a 17-year tenure at Norske Skog, he brings a wealth of experience.

Kristian Røkke has led Aker Horizons for the past four years. His leadership has been marked by navigating the challenges of emerging markets and new technologies. Under his guidance, the company has made strides toward achieving Net Zero goals. Now, as he transitions to Chairman, Røkke aims to ensure continuity. His insights will be invaluable as the company embarks on its next chapter.
The energy landscape is evolving. The transition to renewable energy is both a challenge and an opportunity. Aker Horizons is at the forefront of this shift. The company focuses on green energy, carbon capture, and hydrogen projects. It aims to accelerate the transition to a sustainable future.

The Board of Directors will remain largely unchanged. Aker ASA has proposed that Øyvind Eriksen be named Deputy Chairman. This stability is crucial as the company navigates the complexities of the energy transition. The Nomination Committee will discuss these proposals at their earliest convenience. An Extraordinary General Meeting will be called soon to formalize these changes.
Aker Horizons is not just a company; it’s a movement. It embodies the spirit of innovation and sustainability. The company operates on five continents, applying industrial and technological expertise to drive decarbonization. Its mission is clear: to make a positive impact on the planet. The leadership transition is a pivotal moment in this journey.
Sperre’s appointment is a strategic move. His legal background and experience in corporate strategy will serve him well. He understands the intricacies of the market. He knows how to maneuver through challenges. This is crucial in an industry that is constantly evolving.
Røkke’s tenure has been marked by significant achievements. He has led Aker Horizons through uncharted waters. His experience as a first mover in the energy sector has provided valuable lessons. These lessons will guide the company as it continues to innovate and adapt.
The energy transition is not just about technology; it’s about mindset. Aker Horizons embodies this philosophy. The company is committed to finding solutions that benefit both the environment and the economy. It seeks to create a sustainable future for generations to come.
