On October 2, Kasper Lenbroch will take over as the new CEO of Good Food Group. He comes from a position as CEO of Danpo.
When Kasper Lenbroch takes over as the new CEO on October 2, it will be a person with extensive industry knowledge who will be at the forefront of Good Food Group's continued development. Good Food Group is a leading player in the production and distribution of quality food products to the retail, food service sector and the industry, both under its own brands and as a private label.
Kasper Lenbroch comes from a position as CEO of Danpo A/S. He has previously been CEO of Tulip Food Company and Rieber & Søn Denmark and held key positions in Danish Crown and Arla Foods, where he among other tasks led the latter company's activities in Saudi Arabia. He has a MSc in Economics and Business Administration from Aarhus University and an Executive MBA from Aalborg University and has completed a management programme at INSEAD. In addition, he has a completed a reserve officer education and is active on several boards of Danish food companies.
"Kasper comes with a solid management background and extensive knowledge of the food industry, and we look forward to benefiting from his extensive experience and strong leadership. We are very pleased that we have succeeded in attracting such a prominent candidate to continue the positive development in Good Food Group," says Jørgen Dirksen, Chairman of the Board.
Kasper Lenbroch looks forward to continuing the company's goal of strengthening its market position, both in Denmark and on the international market.
"Good Food Group has a broad and strong product portfolio and has performed well in a challenging market. In close collaboration with all employees and the management team, I look forward to delivering and further developing customer-oriented solutions that create value for our customers and ensure continued growth in revenue and, not least, earnings for Good Food Group," says Kasper Lenbroch.
Kasper Lenbroch replaces Jesper Friis, who after a period as a board member became CEO in September 2022. Under his leadership, net sales have grown to DKK 1.6 billion, and the company has managed to adapt to the increasing price pressure on raw materials, energy and logistics.
Kasper Lenbroch will thus take over the management of a solid company, where further growth is expected in 2024 from new supply agreements with large grocery chains abroad and through continued investments in the optimization of the production facilities.
"We have achieved significant progress in the past year, and we can thank the many committed and dedicated employees for this, just as I, on behalf of the Board of Directors, would like to thank Jesper Friis for his great contribution to the company, both as a board member and as CEO," says Jørgen Dirksen.
