Multi-lingual Aurora is a northern and southern light for ScaleAQ Software

Aquaculture industry supplier ScaleAQ Software has announced that Aurora Bekkevold has joined the company as sales manager.

Bekkevold comes from Grieg Seafood, where she worked as key account manager with responsibility for strategic customers, negotiations, and sales strategy development. ScaleAQ said Bekkevold also brings valuable experience from Lerøy Seafood Group and GreenPowerHub AS, combining expertise from both the aquaculture and software sectors.

Having spentmore than a decade living in Chile’s coastal regions, Bekkevold is fluent in Chilean Spanish as well as Norwegian and English - a linguistic and cultural advantage that ScaleAQ said strengthens its international reach and customer relationships.

Change management

Bekkevold holds a bachelor’s degree in business development and Innovation from Kristiania University of Applied Sciences, specialising in change management and sustainability. Her thesis explored how Norwegian aquaculture companies promote sustainable development through certifications such as ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council), MSC (Marine Stewardship Council), and GlobalG.A.P. (Good Agricultural Practices).

"I’m truly excited to join ScaleAQ Software and contribute to its continued growth. The combination of technology, sustainability, and innovation is something I’m deeply passionate about," Bekkevold said in a press release.

Stephen Budgeon, director of sales and professional services at ScaleAQ Software, said: "Aurora’s commercial mindset and cross-industry experience make her a great fit for our team. Her drive, energy, and deep understanding of international aquaculture align perfectly with our mission of sustainable digital transformation."

Bekkevold will assume her new role in November 2025, based in Bergen, Norway.
