Meet Our New IT-Manager

We are pleased to welcome Bengt Martin Johansen to the AECO Secretariat.

Can you tell us a bit about your background?

Throughout my career, I have gained expertise in many areas within the IT environment. I began as a service desk operator, then progressed to an IT platform operator and consultant, and advanced to the role of IT project manager in Lerøy. My work included implementing new systems, coordinating with cross-functional teams, and ensuring that projects met both technical requirements and business objectives.

What areas of expertise do you bring to AECO?

AECO will benefit from my broad technical expertise and my ability to bridge functional and non-functional requirements. Drawing on my project management experience, I am confident I can help streamline complex project implementations, foster effective collaboration across teams, and ensure that our initiatives consistently meet both technical standards and business goals.

What drew you to this role?

I am attracted to AECO’s robust values and dedication to promoting sustainable tourism practices in the Arctic region, and the opportunity to work with a specialized team covering many new areas of expertise where simply too tempting to pass up.

What are you most excited about as a start?

I am excited to learn more about how AECO works as an organisation and how I can help add value to our services for customers. I look forward to discovering new ways to enhance our customer experience and support AECO’s goals.
