Summary
Steinar Cook is an experienced technology leader and serial founder with roots in programming since 1979, currently serving as Interim CTO and heading R&D and IT for intralogistics automation. He has repeatedly bridged entrepreneurship and engineering—founding companies like Balder Programvare and SendRegning (acquired by UNIT4) while also delivering CTO and director roles at Element Logic and AutoStore. His hands-on background spans mainframes to cloud-native SaaS, databases, distributed systems and pragmatic productization of machine learning and robotics. A notable but less obvious contribution is his authorship of Oxalis, the PEPPOL access point backbone used by roughly 80% of certified access points in Europe. Comfortable moving between CEO, architect and developer roles, he combines technical depth with commercial instincts in sales, marketing and finance. Based in Oslo, he focuses now on applying ML/AI to robotics and intralogistics at scale.
