Eivind Hjulstad is the CEO and co-owner of Citybox Hotels, the Bergen-based budget hotel chain he joined in 2010 and has since grown from a single Norwegian property into a ten-hotel chain operating across six European countries. Under his leadership, Citybox has expanded into Sweden, Belgium, Estonia, Finland, and Denmark, with a pipeline of new properties — including a 351-room flagship in Tromsø set to be the largest hotel in northern Norway — that will more than double the brand's footprint over the next two to three years. He is based in Bergen, Norway.
