Gentoo Media Welcomes New CFO

Gentoo Media is set to strengthen its financial leadership with the recent appointment of Mads Haugegaard Albrechtsen as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Starting from March 1, 2025, Mads will play a crucial role in reinforcing the integration between the company’s financial strategy and its daily operations.

Mads comes to Gentoo Media from Deloitte Denmark, where he served as a partner and state-authorised public accountant. His extensive financial expertise and focus on business optimization will be invaluable as Gentoo Media continues its growth journey. His professional background includes acting as an auditor and advisor for various companies, particularly those undergoing transformational changes, similar to the trajectory of Gentoo Media itself.

The expertise Mads brings covers a wide range of crucial financial functions, including financial strategy development, finance function transformation, capital structuring, mergers and acquisitions (MA), risk management, and external reporting across diverse industries. His deep commercial and technical understanding of finance positions him as a key player in the company.

Mads has a proven history of leading complex projects at Deloitte and has collaborated closely with Gentoo Media's management on numerous matters. This familiarity with the company's business model, culture, and future ambitions makes this transition seamless. As he steps into the role of CFO, Tore Formo will transition into the newly established position as Company Secretary and Head of Corporate Governance, thereby enhancing this integral facet of the organization. In his new role, Tore will oversee corporate governance, managing shareholder issues, and act as the primary contact for the listing of the company’s shares and bonds.

Mikael Harstad, Chairman of Gentoo Media's Board, expressed his confidence in Mads. He stated, "With Mads Haugegaard Albrechtsen stepping in as CFO, we are enhancing our financial leadership with a proven expert who knows Gentoo Media inside and out. This addition will ensure that finance and daily operations are closely aligned while our company continues to grow."

In addition to this significant leadership change, the retention of Tore Formo's expertise will bolster corporate governance further, providing even greater value to Gentoo Media during this critical phase.

As Gentoo Media embarks on this new chapter, the appointment of Mads Haugegaard Albrechtsen as CFO marks a pivotal moment in aligning financial vision and operational execution, paving the way for sustained growth and success. His anticipated contributions are seen as vital to navigating the complexities of the media landscape and driving collaborative success throughout the company.
