As of this date, Cecilie Ditlev-Simonsen is the acting CEO of JKL’s Oslo office. She succeeds Per Høiby, who is leaving JKL.

- Cecilie Ditlev-Simonsen will be leading a successful team of consultants, one that has achieved excellent results in Norway. All signs indicate that this positive trend will continue, says Anders Kempe, CEO of JKL Group.

The company is one of the Nordic region’s leading strategic communications advisory firms, with offices in Oslo, Stockholm, Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Helsinki and Brussels. JKL’s Oslo office is the second largest within the JKL Group.

Ditlev-Simonsen has worked as communications advisor at JKL since the spring of 2008. She has extensive experience in strategic communications, having previously served as Group Communications Manager at Norsk Hydro ASA and Corporate Communications Manager at IBM Norway and IBM Nordics. The Oslo office’s management team also includes Lars Sæthre (partner and member of JKL Group’s Nordic management team), Ragnar Sagdahl and Anders Holmlund.

- We have weathered the financial crisis well and have many exciting clients. We have also strengthened our position within business consulting and financial communication during the past year. This gives us a solid foundation for continued growth, says Ditlev-Simonsen. She emphasises that there will be additional new hires in the future.

Per Høiby, who has decided to pursue other opportunities, will retain his position at JKL for the period of time required to complete his projects and transfer client relationships to other JKL consultants.
