A true tvimenning: Cato Aune has joined

Cato Aune joins Tvimenning on 1 October 2026 as Head of Cloud & Partnerships. He and Jon Petter Hjulstad have worked together before, at e-vita and in Sysco's integration division.

Cato will lead our partnerships and our collaboration with the rest of the industry, with Google Cloud as the main priority. With him, we are five.

A team of two, again

TvimenningOld Norse meaning 'two bound together' - one who solves a task shoulder to shoulder with another. is named after an old way of working: a tvimenningOld Norse meaning 'two bound together' - one who solves a task shoulder to shoulder with another. is a team of two. The name says that the biggest challenges are best solved by two people together.

For Cato and Jon Petter it is more than a slogan. It is their history. They worked together at e-vita, and later at Sysco Middleware, where Cato was already in place when Jon Petter joined as employee number three. And it is not just the two of them: several of us delivered together long before TvimenningOld Norse meaning 'two bound together' - one who solves a task shoulder to shoulder with another. existed.

What makes them a true tvimenningOld Norse meaning 'two bound together' - one who solves a task shoulder to shoulder with another. is that they love working together and trust each other when it counts.

“Cato is one of my favourite people to work with, and the rest of the team feels the same,” says Jon Petter. “We are both driven to make things happen, so you will probably see a lot of the two of us together at conferences from now on.”

“I have followed TvimenningOld Norse meaning 'two bound together' - one who solves a task shoulder to shoulder with another. since before the company was formally founded,” says Cato. “Then I saw what the team had achieved in just four months, going from fairly vague ideas to working prototypes that meet real needs. That convinced me: I had to be part of this.”

What Cato brings

Cato has more than 20 years of experience in cloud and integration, with a background from Google, Devoteam, e-vita and Sysco's integration division. He is certified on Google Cloud, OracleOne of the world's largest technology companies - known for Oracle Database, Fusion Middleware and Oracle Cloud. Tvimenning's staff have experience with Oracle platforms. Cloud, AzureMicrosoft's cloud platform - strong in the enterprise segment, especially where Office 365 and Active Directory are already in use. and AWSAmazon Web Services - Amazon's cloud platform with over 200 services; the leading cloud provider globally and widely used in the Norwegian energy sector..

Google Cloud is one of the platforms we build on, which is why that is where he starts.

Five on the team

With Cato, we are Jon Petter Hjulstad, Geir Ove Drevland, Prakhar Srivastav, Barnabas Davoti and Cato Aune.

Cato sees it as an advantage that we are still few. “It is always fun to be there right from the beginning,” he says. “When there are only a few of you and it is all hands on deck, everyone pitches in on almost everything. That gives a sense of togetherness and an insight that is quite unique.”
