expertise. He has in-dept knowledge of the bank, is highly analytical, and has a
strategic perspective. Through his role as Chief Economist, he has become well
acquainted with the bank and gained valuable insight into the industries of the
region. We are very pleased that Kristian is now stepping into the role of CFO,
says Trond Lars Nydal, CEO of Sparebanken Møre.

In his new role, Tafjord can combine his experience from banking and finance
while continuing to contribute to the bank’s development and position in the
region.

– Sparebanken Møre is a solid organization with many skilled professionals who
show a strong commitment to its customers and its surrounding society. We have a
strong position in the northwestern part of Norway, and I look forward to
contributing to the continued development and growth of Sparebanken Møre, says
Kristian Tafjord.
