Oslo, Norway (November 9, 2023) - Airthings (AIRX), the global leader in air
quality monitoring and energy-saving solutions, today announced the appointment
of Emma Tryti as its next Chief Executive Officer.

Tryti has been a member of Airthings' board since 2021. She is a widely

"As a board member during the past two years, I have followed Airthings'
progress closely. I am very impressed by the team's expertise and passion, as
well as the company's international growth and strong footprint amongst both
consumers and businesses," Tryti says. "I'm truly excited to take on this unique
opportunity and look forward to contributing to profitable growth in the years
to come." 

Geir Førre, Chairman of the board, said: "Emma will join Airthings at an
exciting time. Her strong leadership skills and consumer software background
will help us grow the company through the next phase."

Birkenes has led the company from a startup to become a leading brand in
consumer and business markets, growing the revenue from $1.5M in 2015 to over
$35M in 2022 where more than 70% of the revenue comes from North America.
Airthings has established its B2C footprint sales with giants like Amazon and
Home Depot and forged robust B2B alliances with large enterprises. The company
became publicly traded in 2020.

"Øyvind has played an instrumental role in building Airthings into the
successful company it is today. He has been an impressive leader of the company
for nearly a decade. On behalf of the board, I want to sincerely thank him for
his dedication, passion, hard work and job extremely well done," added Førre.
 
"It's been an amazing ride," said Birkenes. "From the early days as a startup to
become a scale-up listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. I'm very proud to have led
Airthings through these years. Now, as the company shifts gears with a revised
strategy, Airthings 3.0, it's time for me to pass the baton on and welcome Emma,
who will lead Airthings through its next phase."
