Håkon Volldal resigns as CEO of Nel ASA

Mr Volldal has a six-month notice period and will continue in his role while the search for his successor is conducted. The Board of Directors has initiated the process to recruit a new CEO.

Chair of the Board, Arvid Moss, commented: “Since joining the company in July 2022, Mr Volldal has played an important role in shaping Nel’s strategy, renewing the product portfolio, strengthening the organisation and leadership team, and building strategic partnerships with some of the world’s leading companies in the industry. The Board would like to thank him for his strong contributions during his tenure and wish him the best of luck with the next step in his career. Furthermore, the Board would like to emphasise that Nel’s strategic direction and top priorities remain unchanged.”

Håkon Volldal stated: “I am grateful for the opportunity I have had to serve as Nel’s President & CEO and would like to thank the Board of Directors and my colleagues for their continued support during an eventful four-year period. Although my new job will be in a different industry, I continue to be a strong supporter of clean hydrogen in general and of Nel in particular. Electrolytic hydrogen is essential for decarbonising industry/transportation and for building stable and resilient energy systems. Nel’s long track record of delivering reliable electrolysers in combination with its ability to innovate and develop new solutions, for example the recently launched pressurised alkaline system, put the company at the forefront of the hydrogen industry. I am committed to ensuring a smooth transition for the company.”
