Jens Peter Clausen will therefore step down from his position as Executive Vice President of Danish Crown Industry with immediate effect.

“I am grateful to Danish Crown for giving me the opportunity to return to Denmark after many years abroad and to become part of a company with strong traditions and highly skilled employees. I have great confidence in the transformation of Danish Crown led by Niels Ulrich Duedahl, but I have come to the conclusion that the next phase of my career should take a different direction. Therefore, stepping down now is the right decision for both parties,” says Jens Peter Clausen.

“I would like to thank Jens Peter for his contribution to Danish Crown and wish him all the best for the future,” says Group CEO Niels Ulrich Duedahl.

Danish Crown will now begin the process of appointing a new Executive Vice President for Danish Crown Industry. Until then, Group CEO Niels Ulrich Duedahl will take on responsibility for leading Danish Crown Industry.
