He then decided to return to the business world. He was the chair of Fjord Seafood from 2005 to 2006, and then a board member of Marine Harvest from 2006. He was also the acting chief executive of Marine Harvest from 2007 to 2008, as well as a member of the board of Akershus University Hospital and Innovation Norway from 2006.[1] In January 2010 he became acting deputy chairman of Marine Harvest, as Svein Aaser suddenly stepped down.[6] In 2007 he agreed, somewhat surprisingly, to be a part of the Conservative Party ballot in Asker for the 2007 local election.[7] As it turned out, he was elected to the municipal council for the term 2007 to 2011.[3] As of 2007 he was the wealthiest politician in the municipalities Asker and Bærum, ahead of businessman and fellow Conservative representative Stein H. Annexstad.[8] In 1986 he was proclaimed a Knight, First Class of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav.[1]
