Terje Male appointed new Group CEO of MøllerGruppen

“Terje Male is one of the most professional and experienced executives in our industry. We are very pleased that he has accepted to lead the Group in a time when the car industry faces extreme changes,” said MøllerGruppen Chairman Harald Møller.

The new Group CEO has been with MøllerGruppen for 17 years, the last four years as CEO of the Norwegian importer Harald A. Møller AS. He has previously held a number of executive positions with the Group, both on the import and retails sides. Mr Male has held responsibilities for activities in Norway as well as the Baltics. Prior to joining MøllerGruppen, he had for ten years various managerial positions with Volvo. Mr Male holds a Master’s degree in marketing and finance from Academy of Commerce in Oslo.

“Terje Male knows the organization and our people extremely well, and he enjoys the complete trust of our employees as well as the Group’s owners. Nevertheless, the appointment is the result of a thorough process where both external candidates and executives from our own organization have competed for the position,” Chairman Harald Møller said.

“My ambition is to create new chapters in the MøllerGruppen success story. Even though I as the new Group CEO represent continuity, there is no doubt that the car industry faces perhaps its greatest challenges ever. I look forward to address these together with an extremely professional organization,” Terje Male said.

“We will need to master three profound change trends simultaneously: the car industry is in the midst of a major technology shift. Furthermore, the digitalization trend changes the functionality of our industry. And the evolving sharing economy will change how future consumers organize their car use. So my new role will encompass both continuity and renewal,” said MøllerGruppen’s new Group CEO.

Terje Male takes up his new position as Group CEO of MøllerGruppen from 1 January, 2017.
