Stian Jenssen

When Russian troops invaded Ukraine, Stian Jenssen was close to the centre of NATO’s response. During 14 years at the alliance, including as Jens Stoltenberg’s closest adviser and Chief of Staff, he was there as NATO faced some of its toughest tests in recent history. Today, his focus has shifted from defence to data centres. Jenssen now works with digital infrastructure and major technology investments across Scandinavia, in a world where geopolitics is no longer background noise, but a direct business risk. At The NHH Symposium 2027, you will hear how one of Norway’s most experienced security-policy figures interprets the world, and what that means for companies making major decisions in an increasingly uncertain environment.
