Rieber & Søn announced the resignation of Andersson last year, citing “family pressures” as his reason for stepping down. He joined the firm in August 2008.
Mohn will be introduced as CEO at today’s (2 February) presentation of Rieber & Søn’s accounts.
“The board is pleased to have found a good candidate with a thorough knowledge of the organisation, as well as an understanding of the group’s potential and the challenges to be met,” the company said.
The Rieber family, which owns around 88% of the group, also welcomed the appointment of Mohn, adding that they will enter into “immediate dialogue” with the board to finalise a review of the group’s strategic options.
