FREYR Battery (FREY), a clean battery solutions provider, said on Monday that Steffen Føreid has been relived from the role of Group Chief Financial Officer. It also appointed Oscar Brown as the new finance chief.
Føreid will continue in the position as CFO of FREYR Battery Norway AS until the end of the first quarter of 2022.
Tom Einar Jensen, CEO of FREYR, said: "Our geographical expansion and growth plans along the battery value chain will require significant financing efforts.
