Formed in 2010 by a merger of Norway’s two biggest IT companies, EVRY is today one of the leading IT companies in the Nordic region. With his vast experience in handling M&As and strategic planning, Arne Byberg was recruited by the company in 2016 and is already making his mark by working with the company on a number of important agreements whilst handling the ever growing list of data protection laws affecting IT companies. In December 2016, EVRY signed a five year agreement with Fana Sparebank to ‘deliver next-generation core banking and payment solutions in addition to banking and operations services’. A month later, Byberg was involved with the banking sector again when EVRY signed an agreement with Landshypotek Bank to simplify the bank’s loan management processes. Most recently in June 2017 he worked on extending, for a further two years, EVRY’s collaboration with Sveriges Riksbank. In other strategic deals Byberg’s been involved in, EVRY acquired Icecon Aff ärssystem in April 2017 to strengthen its position as a leading Microsoft partner for Dynamics NAV. Byberg is set to continue playing an important role in the EVRY’s strategic activities such as the planned acquisition of Samlink to strengthen its position in the Finnish banking market and EVRY’s intention to launch an IPO on the Oslo Børs. Before joining EVRY, Byberg held a variety of legal roles at global IT company Hewlett Packard between 2005 and 2016, leading the global strategy for the legal department in both Norway and at the company headquarters in California.
