About

Frode Strømø started his legal career at law firm BA-HR in 2000 and after four years at the firm as a senior associate he then spent four year at international firm DLA Piper. After this private practice experience he started his in-house career at Norwegian oil services company, Aibel, where he acted as senior lawyer with special responsibility for legal assistance to international operations, and later as its chief compliance officer and deputy general counsel. Strømø started his tenure at Aker Solutions as head of legal for its engineering division in October 2014, and proceeded to work his way up the ranks, taking his current position as senior vice president legal and compliance in November 2016. Strømø joined Aker Solutions during a transformational period for the company when it was attempting to implement a large-scale re-organisation of the entire business. By heading the legal and compliance function he now has a global mandate to comprehensively advise this recently re-structured business. Previously divided in separate departments, but now under Strømø’s leadership, the legal department works as one integrated team with an increased focus on cross border work and cooperation, showing not only an ability to adapt to changing circumstances but excellent collaborative and business skills.
