"Our ambitions for Noova Energy Systems have never been greater. The brief for our new leader is therefore crystal clear. We will pick up the pace even further and take the company to a new level," says Even Gjesdal, outgoing CEO of Noova Energy Systems.

Almost ten years ago he became an owner of Noova Energy Systems. Ten years later, the company has been transformed into a leading energy and technology company. In 2026, Noova is on track for revenue of between NOK 1.4 and 1.5 billion, with customers in Norway, Sweden and Finland. Almost a year ago, the Swedish investor Trill Impact became the company's majority owner.
"I have spent almost ten years of my life building Noova. Today we are a solid company with healthy finances and, not least, the people we need to succeed with our ambitions going forward," says Gjesdal.

He has now chosen to step aside, a decision that is entirely his own. Behind it lies a thorough assessment of what it takes to give Noova the best possible foundation for further growth.

"As one of the company's largest owners, I have nothing but Noova's future and continued development in mind. To succeed going forward, we need somewhat different skills from the ones I have. Even though it hurts a little, I have therefore concluded that the time is right to hand over the baton to someone else," says Gjesdal.

He continues both as one of the company's largest owners and as an active board member.
"In other words, I keep my burning commitment to Noova, but step into a somewhat more low-key role," says Gjesdal.

After a thorough recruitment process, the choice fell on Swede Nicklas Molin, who takes over as the company's CEO on 2 November. Molin is not only an experienced leader with an impressive commercial track record, he also has a solid technology background.
"He has everything we need for Noova to succeed in the next stages of the company's development," says Gjesdal.

Molin joins from the role of Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at the global technology and communications company Sinch. He played a central part in Sinch's development from a mid-sized start-up into an international technology group with revenue of around SEK 30 billion.
"Noova's development in recent years is impressive. The company is challenging the energy industry, and its strong focus on technology sets Noova apart from the more traditional energy suppliers. The company is very well set up for further growth, so everything is in place for us to win significant market share going forward," says Molin.

He says he took his time deciding where to take the next step in his career.
"I considered several options. What particularly appealed to me about Noova is the combination of a bold investment in technology and a strong focus on sustainability. These are values and ambitions I stand behind seven days a week. Now I look forward to getting to know the people at Noova. Together we will take the company to a new level and show that our technology really makes a difference. By reducing energy consumption at scale, we will create significant climate benefits," says Molin.
