Erik Just Johnsen will step down at the end of November 2024 from his role as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of B2 Impact, a Norwegian company specialized in the purchase and management of credit, with operations in various European countries and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. As of December 1, 2024, Trond Kristian Andreassen, a current board member, will take over the position.
Johnsen has led B2 Impact since 2019, and under his leadership, the company underwent profound changes, including a rebranding from B2Holding ASA to B2 Impact ASA, to better adapt to new market dynamics. During his tenure, B2 Impact achieved significant results, including an improved credit rating by Moody’s in 2023, meaning the strengthening of the company’s financial position and a reduction in debt. Johnsen stated that, with the company now well-positioned for growth, it is the right time to pass the baton.
Andreassen, a board member since 2020, will be tasked with leading B2 Impact into its next phase, focusing on optimizing the platform and growing the business in unsecured markets.
