Having good people around you is key.

Joachim Riise

Experience from Industry and the Aquaculture Sector

During his time at BEWI, Riise worked across several parts of the business. His experience includes EPS fish boxes for aquaculture and fisheries, injection-molded plastic packaging for the food industry, and trading operations supplying packaging solutions primarily to aquaculture and fisheries.

In recent years, his work has increasingly focused on strategic development.

I have worked both operationally and strategically, particularly over the last few years. That has given me experience in change management, portfolio development, and identifying new markets says Riise.

A Data-Driven Approach to Sales

One of the key perspectives Riise brings to Anda-Olsen is an analytical and data-driven approach to sales.

I enjoy working with numbers. The foundation of any business is understanding your data. When you have a clear overview of what you do, how you do it, and the value you deliver to customers, it becomes much easier to develop the business further, says Riise.

This perspective will form part of the work to structure and further develop the company’s sales efforts.

Clear Ambitions for Future Growth

One of the factors that attracted Riise to the role was the level of ambition within Anda-Olsen.

The company appears forward-looking and committed to making a real difference for its customers. At the same time, the ambitions are clear, and there is strong potential for further development.

The opportunity to help structure and strengthen the sales organization was also an important motivation for accepting the position.

I was motivated by the challenge of helping to build a stronger foundation for future growth and contributing to executing the company’s plans says Riise.

Looking Forward to New Industries

In his new role, Riise looks forward to gaining deeper insight into several of the industries Anda-Olsen works closely with.

I’m looking forward to getting closer to the maritime cluster we have here on Sunnmøre. At the same time, it will be exciting to learn more about land-based sectors such as data centers and infrastructure says Riise.

He also points to the potential for expanding the company’s international activities.

In the long term, I look forward to using the experience we build here to scale further internationally says Riise.

Structure and Teamwork

Riise describes his working style as structured, analytical, and fact-based.

I work in a structured and data-driven way. It’s about maintaining a clear overview of what we do, how we do it, and the value we create for our customers says Riise.

At the same time, he emphasizes the importance of collaboration across the organization.

Having good people around you is key. We are a team working toward the same direction, and that requires everyone to be willing to grow and contribute says Riise.

An Opportunity to Help Shape the Future

I see this as a great opportunity to help shape a company with a strong and proud history and a promising future says Riise.

With Joachim Riise stepping into the role as Chief Sales Officer, Anda-Olsen strengthens its efforts to further develop the sales organization and support growth in both existing and new markets.
