adding his unique capabilities to our already strong leadership
team. His operational experience within our industry, background in
financial control and auditing, as well as his familiarity with
financial transactions will be important contributors to the future
development of our company,” said Kasper Jakobsen, President and

international experience to his role, having worked across Europe,
the Americas and Asia.”
In addition to a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Hogeschool
