Lars Laugen

Chief Digital Transformation Officer @ OSM Thome

About

I am a maritime digital transformation executive focused on modernising fleet and shore operations through scalable digital platforms, data, and technology-enabled ways of working. My work centres on building strong digital foundations, translating operational complexity into actionable insight, and ensuring that technology investments deliver measurable operational and commercial impact. I have led large-scale digital initiatives across ship management, voyage operations, performance, and emissions, working closely with both operational and technology organisations. I operate at the intersection of business, operations, and technology, with a strong track record of aligning diverse stakeholders around practical, value-driven outcomes. My background combines deep maritime domain knowledge with hands-on experience in digital platforms, analytics, and organisational change. I hold a Master’s degree in Naval Architecture from NTNU and am based in Norway.
