In 1998 he succeeded Johan H. Andresen Sr. as owner and CEO. Until his father died in 2011, he used "jr." in his name. In 2012, he resigned as CEO, but at the same time took over as chairman of the board. He is the fifth generation in the Andresen family to own and manage the business, after the first Johan H.

At the end of 2013, value-adjusted equity was around NOK 24.3 billion, compared with NOK 7.4 billion in 2003. Total annual turnover in companies owned or controlled by Ferd amounted to NOK 22 billion in 2010, while the number of employees was approx. 13,400.

In addition to industrial ownership, Ferd has financial investments that include shares in Nordic listed companies and small and medium-sized companies, holdings in hedge funds, private equity funds, equity funds and infrastructure funds. The group also has a significant real estate portfolio and conducts real estate development. It also has made major money through its investment in salmon farming.
