Camilla Kiss appointed Acting President of Kongsberg Discovery

Camilla Kiss has been appointed Acting President of Kongsberg Discovery. The appointment supports a smooth transition following the announcement that Martin Wien Fjell will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer in KONGSBERG after the demerger.

With reference to the disclosure from 30 October 2025 related to the proposed listing of Kongsberg Maritime and consolidation of Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace and Kongsberg Discovery into a new technology and defence-focused KONGSBERG, Martin Wien Fjell has accepted the future position as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of KONGSBERG.

Fjell has broad experience from both operational management and financial positions in KONGSBERG as well as Umoe, Fondsfinans and Morgan Stanley. Fjell has been a member of KONGSBERG’s executive management for the past three years through his existing role as President of Kongsberg Discovery. Fjell will enter his new role at the time of the completion of the demerger of Kongsberg Maritime and follows Mette Toft Bjørgen, who assumes the position of Chief Financial Officer in Kongsberg Maritime at the same time.

Camilla Kiss will assume her new position with immediate effect and will work closely with Martin Wien Fjell to ensure continuity in ongoing processes. She will serve in this role until further notice.

Experienced leadership for the next phase

The future new CEO of KONGSBERG, Eirik Lie, appreciates that the new leader of Kongsberg Discovery has solid experience from various positions in different parts of KONGSBERG.

“To appoint Camilla, with her background, experience and leadership skills, is an important step to take Discovery to the next level. She has a broad understanding of our business, which is important for the future new KONGSBERG that we are about to announce. I look forward to working closely with her and her management team,” he says.
