New Managing Director at Nortek

Going to work on day one!

Tore's educational background is a M.Sc. from NTNU in Trondheim Norway and in addition he has an MBA from Columbia University in New York. He has worked internationally for several global companies, including Hewlett-Packard in Geneva and Vienna, Tomra in Oslo, and he came to Nortek after a four year period as the managing director for Thorn Lighting in Norway.

He is spending the first month visiting with all parts of the Nortek organization and this week he is attending the Ocean Sciences conference in Portland, Oregon along with the staff at NortekUSA.  As you will see from this backstage posting, his introduction program is quite comprehensive :)

We believe the new people will complement our existing organization and help us prepare for our next leap as an independent oceanographic instrument manufacturer.
