Who we are

My name is Ole Henrik Hannisdahl. I was born in Norway in 1978 and live near Oslo with my partner Siri and our three daughters.

After completing a Master's degree in International Business, I started my career at Meltwater while it was still in its early growth phase. I later worked as a consultant at KPMG before moving into the EV domain in 2009.

In the early EV years, I led a project aiming to get 200,000 EVs on Norwegian roads by 2020, and served on the board of Grønn Kontakt (later rebranded as Mer). In 2014, I became CEO of Grønn Kontakt. At the time, the business had around 1,000 customers tracked in an Excel sheet and 3 employees. When I stepped down at the end of 2021, we had grown to around 170 MNOK in annual revenue, roughly 300,000 registered customers, and around 70 employees. Through a series of transactions, the company became fully owned by Statkraft and expanded into Sweden, the UK and Germany.

After Mer, I joined a group of investors who acquired a stake in Welmax AS, a company specialized in advanced welding robotics. I came in as CEO to build structure and prepare the company for scale. We discovered too late that our pre-acquisition work had not been thorough enough, and the company required a longer runway than expected. As owners, we were not in a position to fund that runway under the new circumstances, and the board disagreed on the way forward.

I chose to step down and founded Incremental AS. The company combines advisory work and venture building, grounded in practical operating experience and a clear bias for execution.
