Kjell A. Storeide Explained

Kjell Arvid Storeide (born 1952) is a Norwegian businessperson.

He was the CEO of Stokke Gruppen from 1990 to 2004. He is the chairman of the board of Innovation Norway and Rem Offshore, and a member of the board of Aker ASA, Salmar ASA and Investinor (formerly known as Statens Investeringsselskap).
