Eirik will replace Runa Haug Khoury, who has been the founding CEO of AION since the launch in December 2020.

AION has quickly taken an industry leadership position within circular plastic. And I am grateful for the vision, leadership and hard work Runa has put in to get us to where we are today. I look forward to see AION tapping into the opportunities this position will bring under the new leadership of Eirik
