Houston-based Northern Offshore said Wednesday that current directors chose Cecilie to take a vacant seat on the drilling and production unit owner's board of directors.

She already is a board member at Activ Kapital, Ship Finance International and Golden Ocean Group.

She has a bachelor's degree in Spanish and business from London Metropolitan University. She also works at Frontline Corporate Services, a London arm of John Fredriksen-controlled tanker owner Frontline.

Oslo-listed Northern Offshore owns four drilling units and a floating production facility.

Cecilie's twin sister, Kathrine, is a board member of other companies controlled by her father, including Frontline, Golar LNG and Seadrill.
