Arbab Dar

CEO & CM Partner for EY Norway

We are pleased to announce that Arbab Dar will be one of the speakers at the NHH Symposium 2025.

Arbab Dar is the country managing partner for EY Norway, a competence hub providing services in audit, advisory, tax, transactions, and strategy. In addition to leading EY’s operations in Norway, which include approximately 2,400 employees and a turnover of NOK 5 billion, he advises clients in the banking and insurance industries. Before joining EY, he served as CFO of Nordea Bank in Norway. He is a certified public accountant (CPA).

With his practical and theoretical background, combined with leadership experience, Arbab understands the challenges and opportunities within an organization. He is passionate about "building a better working world" and serves as a board member of UNICEF Norway. Topics such as competitiveness, leadership, and sustainability are particularly important to him. Arbab firmly believes that organizations that do not focus on inclusion at all levels will fail. He argues that companies must reflect the markets they operate in and believes that leaders have a significant responsibility to create an environment where people feel safe, can share their thoughts, and thrive. He aims to use his position to raise awareness and live by the core principles of "paying it forward."

We look forward to seeing you in Bergen in March, Arbab!
