Aalborg, February 20, 2023. The nomination committee of Asetek A/S will propose the election of René Svendsen-Tune to the Company’s Board of Directors at the Annual General Meeting to be held on 28 April 2023.
Svendsen-Tune has extensive global experience as CEO, as a senior executive and board member from both private and public companies, mainly within the technology sector, working with growth strategies, innovation and ESG outcomes. Most recently he was the President and CEO at GN Group and GN Audio.
It is expected that Svendsen-Tune will assume the position as Chairman upon his election to the Board of Asetek. The current Chairman of the Board, Jukka Pertola, is expected to remain on the Board as an ordinary director.
