Kurt K. Larsen says goodbye
Kurt K. Larsen, chairman and "founder" of the modern DSV is stepping down. He has great confidence in the leadership of today’s DSV, which is part of the reason he is ready to retire and enjoy full control of his calendar.
“All good things must come to an end, as they say, and I believe in the executive board as well as the board of directors [now fronted by chairman Thomas Plenborg and vice chairman Jørgen Moller]; it’s a very, very strong team.
Larsen began his career as a trainee with Gyldensteins Eftf., a freight forwarding company in central Copenhagen (Denmark). After he had completed his traineeship in 1964, he worked with various freight forwarding companies until he joined DSV in 1989. Following the divestment of DSV Miljø (transport of building materials) in 2004, he became the CEO of DSV. In 2008, he handed over the reins to Jens Bjørn Andersen and became chairman of the DSV board of directors. (mw)
