Tine Kirk Pedersen will take up the position as CEO of Danish Ports as of June 1, 2018.

Danish Ports will have a new CEO as of June 1, 2018. The choice has fallen on Tine Kirk Pedersen, as successor to Bjørn B. Christiansen. Tine Kirk Pedersen comes from a position in By & Havn and will as Director of Danish Ports draw on her experience as Marketing Director in Sund & Bælt. In addition, Tine Kirk Pedersen has held positions in the Ministry of Transport, which is a perfect match in relation to the challenges facing the port sector - namely increased market orientation and new port law. Chairman of the Board Ole Ingrisch says: "The Board of Directors of Danish Ports has been looking for a person who could take over the baton for the development of port conditions. The sector must continue to adapt to the changes required of the ports as a framework for the ever-increasing spectrum of market players who use the ports as a starting point for their development and growth. The process has - especially in connection with the considerations on the revision of the Ports Act - gained momentum, and I have no doubt that with Tine we have found the person who can lead the process to a well-balanced result. To the benefit of both port users and the ports themselves." "Tine Kirk Pedersen's experience from both central administration and responsible positions in publicly owned companies, which - like the ports - operate in the commercial market, will benefit Danish Ports in the transformation that Danish Ports' members are part of, and which naturally also affects the role and function of the trade organization for its members, Ole Ingrisch continues. "I look forward to becoming part of the central Danish infrastructure and, together with the sector's dynamic players, address our common goal of creating growth in the commercial ports. I thrive in the intersection between politics and commercial operations, and I look forward to working to ensure that the ports find the best possible balance between societal and commercial considerations," says Tine Kirk Pedersen. Tine Kirk Pedersen will take up the position as of June 1, 2018. Tine Kirk Pedersen holds an MSc in Business Administration from CBS, comes to Danish Ports from a position as a consultant in By & Havn and has previously been Marketing Director and Head of Secretariat in the Sund & Bælt Group.
