Ingvild Aleksandersen (born 1968) is a Norwegian lawyer who served as County Governor of Finnmark county from 2016 to 2018.
Personal life
[edit]Aleksandersen was born in 1968 in Vadsø, the administrative centre of Finnmark, the country's northernmost county.
Education and career
[edit]Aleksandersen graduated from the University of Oslo in 1995 with a cand.jur. degree. She then worked as a lawyer in private practice, for the Finnmark Estate, and for the Finnmark County Municipality. From 2013-2016, she was the assistant county governor of Finnmark under Gov. Gunnar Kjønnøy. On 1 October 2016, she was appointed as County Governor of Finnmark county. This job was temporary because the Government of Norway was re-evaluating the counties in Norway and the future of Finnmark as a separate county after 2019 was uncertain. Aleksandersen held the post until 2018, after which the Governor positions of Troms and Finnmark were merged from 2019.[1][2]
