Appointed in 2019, Lars Erik Lunøe guided the company through the disruption caused by the global Covid pandemic that had an immediate impact on maritime passenger traffic and thus also on Telenor Maritime's business, providing connectivity to passengers and crew at sea.

The leadership transition comes as the company continues its mission to transform connectivity at sea and accelerate digitalization across the maritime industry. To lead this evolution, Telenor Maritime is pleased to announce the appointment of Magnus Müller as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective 1^st of October.

Magnus brings more than 20 years of global leadership experience in the telecommunications sector, with a strong track record in driving commercial growth, digital transformation, and operational excellence across both developed and emerging markets. His career spans senior roles across Scandinavia and Asia, most recently as Chief Business Officer at Telenor Pakistan.

“We thank Lars Erik for his extensive efforts strengthening the company, and we are truly excited to welcome Magnus Muller to the team,” said Peter Severin, Chair of the Board at Telenor Maritime. “Magnus’ expertise and vision will be invaluable as we continue to drive development of digitalization and evolve connectivity at sea.”
Lars Erik Lunøe will remain engaged during transition and ensure continuity during this period.
