Erik A. S. Frydendal (born 1972 in Oslo, Norway) is a Norwegian business leader known for his tenure as CEO of Hunter Group ASA, a Norwegian publicly listed investment company. Frydendal became CEO of Hunter Group in May 2018.[1][2]

After Frydendal joined Hunter Group ASA, the company became one of the most discussed and high-profile companies on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The company had several of the most prominent investors in Norway as shareholders, including investor Arne Fredly as the main shareholder.

During Frydendal's leadership, Hunter Group ASA realized significant profits from buying[3]and then selling [4]eight large oil tankers[5][6], leading to substantial shareholder dividends[7][8][9]. From 2023, Frydendal has redirected the company's strategy towards CO2-shipping towards the CCS industry[10] in addition to speculation in tanker rate differences and entering into charter agreements for two VLCC oil tankers.[11][12][13][14]

Frydendal's experience in the capital markets includes senior positions at Fearnley Securities, Swedbank, Fondsfinans, and Nordea Securities in Oslo, as well as Paine Webber Inc (UBS AG) in San Francisco. He holds an MBA from Heriot-Watt University and a B.Sc. in finance from the University of Utah.
