New
Business Development Director for Goltens Worldwide |
|
 |
Mr. Kjetil M. Leine has taken over as Business Development
Director Goltens Worldwide with effect from 15th January
2010.
Kjetil holds a Master of Science in Naval Architecture from
the University of Trondheim, Norway. He is 45 years old,
married and has three children.
Kjetil worked for Goltens Dubai from 1996 until 1998 as
Sales and Marketing Manager and as Sales and Marketing

Rolls-Royce Marine, one of the world’s largest suppliers of
Marine equipment, as Managing Director for Rolls-Royce
Marine Singapore and Vice President for Rolls-Royce Marine
Asia Pacific.
In June 2007 Kjetil took up the position of Senior Vice
President at ODIM ASA in Norway and in November 2007 he was
promoted to Chief Operating Officer. During Kjetil’s time at
ODIM ASA, a technology company listed on the Norwegian stock
exchange supplying advanced equipment to the marine offshore
industry, the company grew significantly both in terms of
revenue and in footprint as a result of a planned
acquisition strategy that was executed.
The Goltens Worldwide Board and Goltens Advisory Board will
in 2010 and the years to come put a lot of emphasis on
development of the Goltens Group to ensure we strengthen our
position in the market. As can be seen from Kjetil’s resume
above, he brings a lot of experience to the table from
related marine businesses both from his Norwegian and
international assignments in Rolls Royce and ODIM and not
least from his earlier tenure in Goltens Middle East.
Kjetil’s primary task will be to assist the President of
Worldwide Service and the Advisory Board to develop the
Goltens Group in the right direction both regionally and
worldwide.
We all welcome Kjetil back to Goltens and wish him all the
best for his new position in Goltens Worldwide,
