- 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.
