"We are happy to welcome Cilia and Katrin to the Aker BioMarine team," said Matts Johansen, CEO, Aker BioMarine. "At a time when sustainability should be considered a major component of a company's DNA, it is essential to have a director, like Cilia, who can successfully implement the best strategy possible for our business. Equally important is a communications director, like Katrin, who has the ability to properly communicate key messages about our company inside and outside of our business. We look forward to having them both continue to push Aker BioMarine in a positive direction."
