Paal Larsen oversees new business sales, strategy and employee development globally for the Meltwater’s Client Acquisition operations.

Home
Paal lives in Bergen, Norway, also known as “the gateway to the Norwegian fjords”—not surprising that he’s a fan of fishing.
Play
Paal has a passion for new rock and indie music, especially discovering new bands and going to live shows (Paal’s favorite live band is Wilco). Despite his love for hiking and snow skiing, Paal’s favorite vacation was a trip to Florida where he enjoyed soaking up the sun on those white sandy beaches.
Work
Before Meltwater, Paal worked in the music industry traveling the U.S. with a management company that represented bands signed to major labels.
School
Paal has a Master’s degree in Economics and a degree in Business Administration from the Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration (NHH). He also studied law at the University of Bergen.
