Þórólfur Árnason
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Þórólfur Árnason took over as the mayor of Reykjavík on February 1, 2003 when Ingibjörg Sólrún Gísladóttir the former mayor resigned suddenly in order to pursue a career in national politics.
His appointment as mayor was a compromise of the three ruling parties of the City Counsel. Having never been involved in politics before, but a well-known executive for some of Iceland's largest companies, Þórólfur was considered a "mayor-for-hire" by the City Counsel - A manager of day-to-day city affairs rather than a political leader or policymaker.
He resigned on November 30, 2004.
