Oslo, Norway – 2 March 2018 – Today The Orchard announced music industry veteran Sveinung Rindal as the leader of company operations in Norway. Rindal will head the established Phonofile team at its office in Central Oslo.

“Sveinung is a strong addition to our global management team. He is well respected, with strong relationships and experience across the industry. I’m confident he will lead our vision in Norway and successfully take the company forward. We are proud to have him represent The Orchard,” The Orchard’s Chief Operating Officer, Colleen Theis, said.
“I am proud and excited to join the existing Phonofile team and build The Orchard’s business in Norway. I look forward to working with the great Norwegian indie labels and artists, along with The Orchard’s international catalogue,” Rindal added.
Rindal will work closely with The Orchard’s Copenhagen-based Emilie Snellman, who oversees the teams in Sweden and Denmark, to drive and develop the company’s Nordic business.
