The Board of Directors of PSI Group ASA has on 11 November elected Svein S. Jacobsen as new Chairman of the Board of the Group. Jacobsen assumes the position after Leif Flemming Bakke, who has been the Chairman of PSI Group ASA for 5 years. Svein S. Jacobsen was elected as member of the Board of PSI Group in January 2009 to strengthening the Board's competences, particularly within internationalisation of the company's technology. The appointment of Jacobsen as new Chairman is part of a planned process, as Leif Flemming Bakke has signaled his intention to resign from the Board to be able to prioritize other tasks. Jacobsen (58) holds a Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration and is a Certified Accountant from the Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration. He has been the Group CEO of Tomra ASA for 8 years and is today on the Board of Orkla ASA (vice chairman), Expert ASA (vice chairman), Vensafe ASA and Nordea Bank AB in Sweden. "With his international experience within retail and technology, the Board is in the opinion that Jacobsen will be an important contributor to the internationalisation of the Company - which is the primary focus area for PSI going forward", says the former Chairman of PSI, Leif Flemming Bakke.
