joining Kongsberg Digital as SVP for
Maritime Simulation,” says Hasås. “I know
I will be working with a fantastic and agile
team, and I will do my outmost to help
bring Maritime Simulation to new heights.
I am excited to get started and explore the
enormous possibilities digitalization brings
to the fantastic core of products brought to
life by Norcontrol in the 1970s.”

responsibilities within Kongsberg Digital as
VP of Sales and Business Transformation of
