The Consul General

Heidi Olufsen

Consul General

Heidi Olufsen took on the position as Norway’s Consul General in New York in August 2021. She has broad experience from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including as Director of the Section for Official Visits (2017-2021) and as Consul General in St. Petersburg, Russia (2013-2017). In addition, she has experience from the Office of the Prime Minister (2011-2013). She holds a Master of Business from the Norwegian School of Business, as well as a MSc in Russian and Post-Soviet Studies from London School of Economics and Political Science.

Promoting and aiding Norwegian business interests in New York and on the East coast are key priorities for the Consul General. The United States is Norway’s second most important export market and the third most important source of imports. The Consul General seeks to strengthen the economic ties between the US and Norway through aiding Norwegian start-ups, creative industries and companies who are pursuing sustainable and future proof solutions.

Cultural exchange between the US and Norway is another priority at the Consulate General in New York. Currently there is a momentum for Norwegian and Scandinavian art, design and architecture in the US and on the international cultural scene.
