Vibeke Fjordbakk Named New CEO at Kongeparken
Vibeke Fjordbakk Named New Chief of Staff to the Teddy Bear King, and CEO at Kongeparken:
“Our Goal Is to Create the Best Workplace for Youth in the Region!”
Vibeke Fjordbakk, an experienced and hands-on leader, is set to step into her new role as the leader under the park’s beloved Teddy Bear King at Kongeparken on December 1. A resident of Ålgård, Vibeke has a clear and ambitious vision for her new role:
“We will see and support every young employee, ensuring they are well cared for. Kongeparken is a fantastic workplace that offers tremendous opportunities for personal growth. There are countless examples of young people starting their careers here and achieving great success within Kongeparken and beyond.”
Launching Youth into Their Careers
Kongeparken has long been a launchpad for young workers, employing youth as young as 15. Thousands of young people have taken their first steps into the working world at the park, and that number continues to grow. Each year, Kongeparken hires around 350 seasonal employees. Vibeke promises attractive conditions, thorough training, diverse and exciting responsibilities, as well as a strong sense of community, and lasting friendships.
“Building a positive culture among our team members is one of my key priorities,” Vibeke explains. “Our young employees should feel that the work they do truly matters. We’ll provide a supportive environment and social activities that will encourage them to return for multiple seasons. We aim to be the best workplace for young people in the region.”
A Trusted Advisor Panel at Home
Vibeke has a strong understanding of what both the park’s youngest visitors and its teenage employees value, thanks in part to her four children, aged 8 to 16.
“I have a broad and very opinionated advisory panel at home,” she laughs.
With a background in tourism management and attraction development, Vibeke brings extensive leadership experience in the service industry. She felt a strong inner motivation to apply when the opportunity to lead Kongeparken arose.
A New Chapter for Kongeparken
Glenn André Viste Bøe, Managing Director of Parks at Lund Gruppen, is thrilled with the appointment:
“Over the past year, we’ve been searching for the next CEO of Kongeparken. After a thorough process, Vibeke emerged as a great fit. We’re excited to see her take Kongeparken to the next level as a destination.”
And Vibeke is ready to make her mark:
“I’m eager to contribute to the local community and firmly place Ålgård on the map as a key destination. I’m fortunate to step into a well-run park with great values, fantastic colleagues, and so much potential to build on!”
