EIGIL INGEBRETSEN : THE PATH TO STOREBRAND
As Head of Investment Control and Analytics at Storebrand Asset Management , Eigil Ingebretsen has played an important role in the organisation ’ s growth and digital transformation over the past decade . His tenure at Storebrand began in 2014 , marking a significant milestone in his career in the financial industry .
For Eigil , the decision to join Storebrand was influenced by the company ’ s robust reputation in Norway . “ Storebrand has a strong brand and a strong name in Norway ... it ’ s a quite well-known institution with a history going back to the 1700s ,” he explains .
While the firm ’ s stability and heritage initially attracted him , it was Storebrand ’ s ambitious outlook that proved most compelling . “ I knew that Storebrand was quite large in a local sense in the asset management industry , but I was a bit surprised that it was ambitious outside of our home markets .”
In his current role , Eigil particularly values the dynamic nature of the work . “ I definitely enjoy the fast-paced nature of the processes and business that we have ,” he notes , though he acknowledges this can also present challenges , as “ you constantly need to adapt , constantly need to optimise processes , systems , the organisation and our competence ”.
During his tenure , the company has seen remarkable growth , with assets under management nearly tripling .
He has been focused on a holistic approach to systems and data models , and how we integrated ESG in our platform to make process integration possible .
