Omega Subsea is strengthening its organization through recruitment, investments, and an expanded leadership team. With new team members, larger offices, and a clear long-term strategy in place, the company is positioning itself for further growth in the subsea industry.
The new organizational framework was formalized in 2025 with Solstad Offshore becoming co-owner, alongside Omega AS, and the appointment of a new board of directors. This step has provided a clearer structure across Omega Subsea’s companies and operations, reinforcing ambitions for the years ahead.
A central part of this effort has been the addition of new leadership. Thomas Almås has joined as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and Magne Hop has been appointed Chief Legal Officer (CLO). Their combined expertise in finance, strategy, and law adds important capacity to support Omega Subsea’s next phase of development.
Almås holds degrees in Business Analysis and Performance Management, as well as Accounting and Auditing, from the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH). With more than a decade of experience in audit, consulting, transaction services, and financial leadership, he will focus on building financial resilience, linking strategy with execution, and supporting Omega Subsea’s investments in ROV systems, tooling, and survey equipment.
“At Omega Subsea, I look forward to contributing with a combination of financial expertise, performance management insight, and a pragmatic approach to strategy execution. My experience has taught me how to bridge the gap between analysis and action, ensuring that we not only set ambitious goals but also deliver measurable results. I am eager to support Omega Subsea in strengthening its financial resilience, optimizing operations, and driving sustainable growth,” says Almås.
Hop holds a law degree from the University of Bergen and a business degree from the University of Edinburgh. A qualified lawyer with more than 20 years of national and international experience, he has guided companies through complex legal frameworks, transactions, and organizational changes. He is also registered as in-house counsel for Omega Subsea.
“With extensive national and international experience as a business lawyer and strategic advisor to a wide range of clients, I look forward to contributing to Omega Subsea’s continued development. My focus is on strengthening our legal and strategic framework to support the company’s long-term ambitions and ensure sustainable growth in the subsea industry,” says Hop.
Their appointments enhance Omega Subsea’s ability to manage financial and legal matters, ensuring the organization is well positioned to deliver on its long-term goals.
