NOVA expands to Bergen with our agency Northern Beat
Companies want design to create real results – not just better user experiences, but sharper priorities, clearer direction, and faster delivery. That’s why our agency Northern Beat is establishing a Bergen office under the leadership of Ann Kristin Svartefoss, to build a strong professional community on the West Coast.
Ann Kristin brings extensive experience from leadership roles and business development. Most recently, she worked at Stacc and previously spent several years at Tryg as a team leader and business developer. Before that, she was CEO and founder of Kolon, a private school for external candidates. Her background from both established companies and start-ups gives her a unique mix of strategic insight and hands-on execution.
Many organisations struggle to structure product development in a way that creates real value. It’s not just about methodology – it’s about building structures, teams, and cultures that work over time. That’s the conversation I’m passionate about.
Building a Professional Community in Bergen
Northern Beat has grown into a leading player in product management, service design, and strategic advisory in Oslo. We work where design meets organisation and business development – always focused on creating measurable impact.
We see strong demand for our expertise across Norway. Establishing ourselves in Bergen is about being where our clients are while contributing to the growth of the regional professional community.
Interested in joining the team?
The Bergen office is already open, and Ann Kristin is building her team. We’re now looking for talented product managers, designers, and strategic advisors – in Bergen and Oslo. Explore current openings here.
This expansion is part of Northern Beat’s commitment to developing services and methods that help organisations navigate change and turn strategy into action.
