Kristine Ryssdal, currently Vice President Legal in Statoil ASA, will take up the position as Yara Chief Legal Officer, effective latest 31 May. Trygve Faksvaag will step down as Chief Legal Officer once Ryssdal joins, but continue working in Yara's Legal department.

A review of Yara's corporate functions is in progress, and Bente Slaatten has consequently decided to step down as Chief Communication and Branding Officer and leave the company.

The Communication and HR functions will report to CFO Torgeir Kvidal until further notice, and Kaija Korolainen has decided to step down as Chief HR Officer and leave the company.

"I am convinced that these changes will strengthen Yara going forward. At the same time I want to thank my colleagues who are leaving the executive management group, for their hard work and dedication to Yara," said Svein Tore Holsether, President and Chief Executive Officer of Yara.
