Career

Hatlen holds a "Sivilingeniør" degree in chemistry from the Norwegian Institute of Technology in 1980 and a Master of Business Administration from INSEAD in 1991.[1] While studying chemistry she chaired the Conservative Students' Association in Trondheim and was a board member of the Student Society in Trondheim and the publishing house Tapir.[2] In her early career she worked in the petroleum for Elf Aquitaine and Statoil. Among others, she was responsible for the completion of the oil platform Gullfaks C.[1]

In 1996 she left Statoil, and became independent[1] with a connection to the consulting firm Kjeld Rimberg & Co.[3] During this period, she was hired as chief executive of Universitetsforlaget from 1996 to 1997 and the Henie-Onstad Art Centre from 1998 to 1999, with a specialty in turning downward facing economic trends in the institutions.[4] She was also an adviser in the Norwegian Museum of Contemporary Art.[2] She was later a full-time chair of the Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority from 2001 to 2006.[4] This was then merged to form the South Eastern Norway Regional Health Authority. Hatlen was asked to become chair here, but rejected the offer.[5]

She has also been chair of Vinmonopolet, Det Norske Samlaget,[1] Undervisningsbygg and the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund, and a board member of Petroleum Geo-Services,[6] Helsebygg Midt-Norge, Interconsult, Blom,[2] the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Kongsberg Gruppen, Smedvig,[1] Hands, the Norwegian Glacier Museum, Det Norske Teatret,[7] and Oslo Lufthavn.[8]

In 2007 she was hired as corporate director in Statkraft.[6] In 2009 she went on to be chief executive officer of Oslo University Hospital, Scandinavia's largest hospital with 22,000 employees.[9][4] Later that year she backed down as chair of Vinmonopolet[10] and Det Norske Samlaget.[11] She resigned in 2011 following disagreements with the board of directors (headed by Göran Stiernstedt) over long-term planning.[12]

Hatlen continued her business career as chair of Sevan Marine from 2011[13] and Entra Eiendom from 2012,[14] and President of the Organizing Committee for the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics in Lillehammer[15] as well as board member of Export Credit Norway.[16]
