"One of the company’s strategic pillars is dedicated to employee development and conscious commitment to talent,” says Hege Spaun, Chief Officer People and External Affairs. “We go out of our way to think differently about how to attract talent and then challenge them to make a real difference.”

Solve global problems

As a global company employing more than 40 nationalities, Aker BioMarine is proud of its diversity and uses its global network to recruit the best talent. 

Spaun believes young professionals, in particular, want to help solve global problems, such as scarce resources, food security, and health and climate challenges. “Because the company pursues sustainable, transparent resource practices and safeguards the marine ecosystem in which it operates, we appeal to like-minded talent.”

Young generation and long-time staffers

Sharing know-how and hands-on training are considered key success factors at Aker BioMarine. Spaun has noted that most innovative ideas emerge from teams that are inter-departmental, multinational, and draw on employees in all age groups.

“Bringing together teams of experienced fishermen, scientists, marketeers, and former management consultants from companies such as McKinsey and PwC, creates the combination of business-case development, product innovation, marketing skills, and project management that are vital to company growth,” Spaun adds.
