HydrogenPro ASA has appointed Dag Opedal as its new Chair of the Board after Terje Mikalsens stepped down earlier this month.
Opedal was appointed as the new Chair following Mikalsens resignation and has now been elected after the HydrogenPro Annual General Meeting and Extraordinary General Meeting agreed on the nomination committee’s proposal.
Mikalsens was only in the role for five months after he replaced Ellen Hanetho in October (2023), following her three-year tenure.
