Thor Gjermund Eriksen took up the position as CEO of Norsk Tipping on 12 September last year. Now he has informed chairman Sylvia Brustad that he is leaving the company.

It is with a heavy heart that I have made this decision, and the plan was clearly to stay in Norsk Tipping longer. In one year, I have become very happy with both the social mission Norsk Tipping has and also the employees at Hamar, says Eriksen.

Eriksen goes to the position of CEO of Bane Nor. In the same way as Norsk Tipping, Bane Nor has an important social mission. Leading the job of ensuring good and future-oriented infrastructure on the railways in Norway is exciting and something I have chosen to accept, he says.
