DnB NOR Chief Bullish Expansion Set – Lending Grows

It is always a pleasure to hear from someone with a fresh and confident outlook, and such was the happy occasion when the Norwegian American Chamber of Commerce presented Rune Bjerke the Group Chief Executive of DnB NOR at an early evening, late summer event in New York. Mr. Bjerke joined the Bank leaving the successful Hafslund ASA where he was CEO. And as he noted the switch to banking left some of his friends perplexed it was the sort of challenge that appealed even though his start date approximately coincided with the start of the Sub Prime crisis.
