Christian Chramer, CEO of the Norwegian Seafood Council Reflecting on an immersive first six-months

Being a CEO brings both its trials and tribulations. Christian Charmer, CEO of the Norwegian Seafood Council, reflects on the first six months in his new role

The Norwegian Seafood Council (NSC) works together with the Norwegian fisheries and aquaculture industry to develop markets for Norwegian seafood. The aim of the organisation is to increase the value of Norwegian seafood resources, through market insights, market development, market risk management and reputational risk management in select markets around the world.

Last year, by unanimous decision, the board of the Norwegian Seafood Council appointed Christian Chramer as CEO and he has been at the helm since October. The first six months bedding in as a CEO is a very important period for both the individual and the business, as it’s these crucial few months that set the tone for your tenure and potentially impact your effectiveness as a leader. It is the time when you really get to know an organisation, and, in turn, they get to know you.
