Gro Møllerstad (born 1960) is a Norwegian headhunter,[1] former editor and politician for the Labour Party.
She was a personal advisor (today known as political advisor) to Minister of Social Affairs Tove Strand Gerhardsen from August 1986 to September 1988, during the second cabinet Brundtland. [2]
Møllerstad was responsible[3] for the implementation of the Clean Air Act[4] (Smoking Act) which was introduced on 1 July 1988.
She also worked as a journalist in the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation and Dagbladet,[5] before founding her own recruitment company, Nye Hoder in 2000 and Hodejegerne in 2002. Among others, she helped recruit the new CEO of the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation in 2007.[6] In 2004 Hodejegerne gained negative publicity when six of the eight directors they recruited to the new radio channel Kanal 24 quit within less than a year.[7][8]
Møllerstad has explained the disparity between men's and women's earnings with lack of negotiation skills among most women.[9]
She took the cand.mag. degree at the Norwegian Journalist College in 1985, and later took a Master of Management degree at the Norwegian School of Management.[10]
