Danish Crown: New deputy chairman in place

"I entered the board work with a goal of creating change. I have believed from the start that I have something to offer so that we can make the right decisions and move Danish Crown. I will now prioritize that work even more in everyday life", says Daniel O. Pedersen.

36-year-old Daniel O. Pedersen is from North Jutland and runs a farm with pig production and plant breeding near Hjørring. He produces 120,000 piglets annually and fattens the 40,000 himself for slaughter at Danish Crown. The plant farm is on 1,100 hectares, and in addition he is the main shareholder in the biogas company Agri Energi Vraa, which he, together with a group of North Jutland farmers, is currently transforming into a cooperative.

"For me, it's about attacking challenges and problems rather than waiting, and then we have to dare to go against the grain from time to time. However, the work on the board entails a completely different kind of responsibility than at home on the farm. It obligates, but it is not a responsibility that must make us shake our hands when decisions have to be made", says Daniel O. Pedersen.

The board of Danish Crown AmbA has, in connection with the constitution, chosen to let Søren Bonde handle part of the tasks normally carried out by the deputy chairman. This is done to ensure that there are sufficient resources to both follow up on the company's operations, complete the work of the bylaws committee and get the new group management off to a good start.

"I am really happy that Daniel has the courage to take on the task as deputy chairman. He is young, he is enterprising, and he is sharp when it comes to analyzing Danish Crown's business. He joined the A/S board from the start, which is why he already knows the business very well. At the same time, we in the board have assessed that it will strengthen the chairmanship to have Søren Bonde to supplement us in some areas, so that we will follow up all the way around in the coming months", says Asger Krogsgaard, chairman of Danish Crown AmbA.
