Airthings ASA, Norwegian-based manufacturer of indoor air quality monitoring and radon detection products, has announced the appointment of Ivar Kroghrud as CEO.
As CEO, Kroghrud will initially be tasked with leading Airthings’ forthcoming delisting and subsequent emphasis on long-term innovation, gross margin expansion, and continued product excellence, says the company. Airthings also recently announced a 47% increase in revenue in Q4 2025 compared to Q3 2025.
“I am thrilled to join Airthings at such a pivotal moment,” says Kroghrud. “As awareness of indoor air quality’s impact on health and productivity continues to grow worldwide, Airthings stands uniquely positioned to deliver meaningful solutions across its core markets. I look forward to collaborating with the company’s talented team to create exceptional products and services for our customers while building a foundation for sustainable, profitable growth.”
Kroghrud brings extensive experience as an entrepreneur and technology leader. He co-founded and previously served as CEO of Questback. Since departing in 2013, he has co-founded multiple software companies and served as an investor and board member/chair for several startups and growth-stage companies, including Admincontrol and Signicat. Kroghrud was also a partner at a venture capital firm.
He holds a BSc from the Royal Norwegian Naval Academy and an MSc in Strategy from BI Norwegian Business School.
