Ingvild Aleksandersen (born 1968) is a Norwegian lawyer who has been serving as the current County Governor of Finnmark county since 2016.

Personal life

Ingvild Aleksandersen was born in 1968 in Vadsø in Northern Norway. She was married in 2000 to Eskil Aleksandersen.[1]

Education and career

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 the acting County Governor of Finnmark county. This job was considered temporary because the Government of Norway was (at that time) re-evaluating the counties in Norway and the future of Finnmark as a separate county after 2019 was uncertain. Aleksandersen will hold this post until 2019 when the neighboring counties of Troms and Finnmark will be merged.[2][3]
