Global COO, Søren Kyhl comments:

“With Jesper and Hans-Jørgen on board, we strive to offer our clients new cutting-edge risk management tools including forward-looking risk measurements. We continue to believe that it is paramount we create win-win with our clients by helping them manage their risk in a much better way.
