Morten Steinsland

I am Morten Steinsland, and soon to be 65 year old Norwegian citizen living in Oslo Norway. I am married and have two grown up children.

‍

My entire 40 years professional career has been within the finance industry.  Most of the time I have worked as a portfolio manager/ head of teams within fixed income, both in the Nordics and abroad.

‍

I am joining this endeavor with little endurance experience. However, staying physically fit has been part of my lifestyle for my entire life. Specifically, rowing has been my favorite go-to sport since childhood, both on water as well as on a fitness machine.

‍

For years I have had a dream of testing my physical as well as mental strengths on an endurance trip, Rowing the Atlantic came up as an idea when following different rowers in this year’s World Toughest Row. I soon realized that this was exactly what I was looking for.

‍

The outcome of this journey depends on this team being able to keep up the spirit and working well together. Contributing to this goal is a strong motivation.
