I look forward to working with her and to welcoming Pia to my team,” says Peter Kjær Jensen, Executive Vice President, Agriculture Business Group.

Preparing for the future

The aim of strengthening the trading area and consolidating activities into a single unit is to improve performance, reduce risk, and achieve economies of scale through enhanced analytical capabilities and faster decision-making. Global Trading will thus play a central role in realizing the ambitions of the ReGen program – DLG’s three-year transformation initiative.

I’m eager to contribute and to help set a direction for how we, as one team, can ensure that trading generates the greatest possible value for DLG going forward,” says Pia Brinkmann Madsen.
