Torghatten Aqua has named Stig Tore Laugen, 48, as its new Director of Investor Relations and Communication.
Laugen joins the Brønnøysund-based aquaculture group from Aneo, a Nordic renewable energy company, and will be responsible for managing investor relations, communication, and public affairs.
His focus will include raising capital for Torghatten Aqua’s land-based aquaculture projects through subsidiary Aquaculture Innovation.
CEO Øyvind Løvdahl expressed confidence in Laugen’s experience, noting his background in business development, communication, and handling diverse investor groups. Løvdahl highlighted Laugen’s ability to contribute to the company’s growth strategy, as Torghatten Aqua recently surpassed NOK 1 billion in market value on the NOTC list at Euronext Oslo Børs.
Laugen, a former journalist with Norwegian business newspaper Dagens Næringsliv and VG, brings extensive experience from senior communication roles, including at BN Bank and TrønderEnergi.
