COPENHAGEN, June 8 (Reuters) - Norwegian oil group Equinor EQNR.OL said on Monday it had elected Jarle Roth as its new board chair, after the nomination committee proposed him last week.
Roth is elected with effect from July 1, Equinor said in a statement.
Equinor's nomination committee proposed Roth after Jon Erik Reinhardsen, who has been chair since 2017, decided to step down.
Roth, 66, an independent adviser, joined Equinor's board in December 2025, having previously served as CEO of Norwegian companies Eksportkreditt Norge, Arendals Fossekompani, Umoe Group, Schat-Harding and Unitor.
The board also re-elected Anne Drinkwater as deputy chair, along with board members Finn Bjorn Ruyter, Haakon Bruun-Hanssen, Mikael Karlsson, Fernanda Lopes Larsen and Dawn Summers.
