As a CFO, Ken Østreng has been highly visible across his Nordic-based firm’s multinational operations. Whether he was identifying international acquisition targets or new incentives to help drive sales, he became one of Confirmit’s “go-to” leaders, and in the minds of management the natural successor to Confirmit’s CEO Henning Hansen. And, so when Henning recently announced he would this spring be ending his 12-year-tenure as Confimit’s CEO, there was little surprise when it was announced that Østreng would be garnering the top spot.
