Leader of the week - Silke Appel

Dear everyone,

I am very happy to welcome Nina Langeland as deputy head of the management team at K2. Nina was Norway's first female dean of a medical faculty (2009-2017) and is well used to standing in the storm. Her experience in handling a demanding economy, combined with her good knowledge and understanding of the university and the hospitals, will be of great help to K2 in the work of getting into financial balance.
