Change at DFDS's head
Niels Smedegaard will step down as CEO of DFDS at the end of April. Torben Carlsen, who has been the company's CFO since 2009, will become the new CEO.
Smedegaard has been CEO of DFDS since 1 January 2007. He said: “My time at DFDS has been a fantastic journey since I joined. It has been a difficult decision to say goodbye but having managed the company for over twelve years, the time has come to move on and use my energy and experience in a board position."
Carlsen has a broad and international managerial back-ground, with leading positions in Switzerland and the USA, primarily within the airline industry. He also has experience from the private equity sector. (mw)
