The Board of Directors of DSV A/S announces changes to the
Executive Board. Effective 30 September 2024, Group CEO Jens Bjørn
Andersen will step down after 16 years in charge of the DSV Group.
The current Group COO Jens H. Lund will assume the position of
Group CEO of DSV A/S.
Jens H. Lund (born 1969) is a Danish citizen and has been a
member of the Executive Board of DSV A/S since 2002, first as Group
CFO and since 2021 as Group COO.
Thomas Plenborg, Chairman of the Board of Directors of DSV
A/S:"DSV has been on a fantastic journey under Jens Bjørn
Andersen’s leadership since 2008. He has been instrumental in
developing DSV into a leading global freight forwarder with
excellent financial results and ultimately in creating significant
value for DSV’s shareholders. It is a true privilege to work with
Jens Bjørn and, on behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like
to take the opportunity already now to thank him for his
contribution over the years.
The Board of Directors believes that now is the right time to
execute on the succession plan and announce Jens Lund as the future
Group CEO. Jens Bjørn has agreed to continue as Group CEO until
September 2024, supporting a good handover and continuity in the
senior leadership team.
Jens Lund has been part of the Executive Board for many years,
and he is known and respected both internally and externally as a
visionary and strong leader. The Board of Directors is confident
that Jens Lund is the right person to drive DSV’s continued growth
strategy and further develop our global network, customer services
and digital infrastructure.”
Jens Bjørn Andersen, Group CEO of DSV A/S:“I am proud of the
results that we have achieved as a team in DSV during my years as
Group CEO. Through large acquisitions, integrations and challenging
logistics markets, we have managed to support our customers, create
value for our shareholders and – not least – to bring
sustainability higher on the agenda. I would like to thank the
Board of Directors, my leadership team and all my DSV colleagues
for their trust and support throughout the years.”
Jens H. Lund, Group CEO of DSV A/S:“I am honoured by the trust
the Board of Directors is showing by giving me the opportunity to
lead the next stages of DSV’s journey. I have truly enjoyed working
with Jens Bjørn over the years, and with him in charge we have
grown the company based on strong values and a unique corporate
culture. Based on this solid foundation, I am looking forward,
together with the DSV team, to continuing our growth path and
taking us to the next level.”
