Cegal has strengthened its management team with the hiring of Christian Aarvold as director of marketing and communication. Aarvold will lead the work to highlight Cegal as the leading technology partner for the entire energy industry, both local and global.
Commenting on his appointment, Aarvold said: “What drew me to Cegal is the company's combination of industry knowledge, technological expertise and bold ambitions. The company has a solid reputation, has ambitious people, and not least – big views! Now we will speed up the growth. We are going out into the world and becoming one of the leading technology partners for the energy industry. That makes the role of marketing director very interesting."
Aarvold has a broad background in technology and commercialization. He has experience in leading roles from, among others, SAP, TGS and GSGroup. He now comes from the position of director demand generator at Kongsberg Digital.
Aarvold continued: “At Cegal, I am allowed to work with important industries that are constantly facing major changes. Cegal's roots are in the energy industry and the company will continue to deliver technology that creates sustainable solutions both with the traditional energy companies and within the renewable investment.”
In Cegal, Aarvold becomes part of Cegal's commercial team, led by Camilla Magelssen. “We did not want a general marketing director, but a person with solid industry expertise, who can explain complex solutions in an easy-to-understand way to selected target groups. With Christian, we get a director who will increase our visibility and understanding of what we actually deliver, in Norway, the Nordics and internationally, says Magelssen, chief commercial officer at Cegal.
Aarvold adds: “Cegal has done a lot good work in marketing and communication. My task will be to further develop what has been done into something even better. We must dare to think big, and work purposefully and structured together with the whole of Cegal so that we achieve the goals we set ourselves.”
Aarvold started in his new role on 5th May 2025.
