Bente Overgaard joins Nykredit's Group Executive Board
Bente Overgaard, Executive Vice President, has been appointed Group Managing
Director and will join Nykredit's Group Executive Board as from 1 March 2008
where she will be in charge of human resources, staff training, management and
organisational development as well as the Group's facilities management
functions.
Bente Overgaard (43) has held executive positions in Nykredit's Commercial
Cus-tomers area since 1998 and was most recently in charge of Nykredit's
customer centres, advisory functions, business development and sales
activities.
Bente Overgaard holds an MSc (Political Science) from the University of Århus
(1990). After graduation, she joined Nykredit as a trainee.
- Our business activities have undergone a significant development in recent
years, and this is expected to continue. We expect to recruit around 500-700
new staff members in 2008 alone. Therefore, the Group Executive Board has
recognised a need to strengthen focus on human resources in general. Bente
Overgaard has strong competencies with respect to management and organisational
development in the Commercial Customers area - competencies we can now benefit
from across the Group. Moreover, the appointment also serves to rejuvenate the
Group Execu-tive Board, says Peter Engberg Jensen, Group Chief Executive.
Bente Overgaard's new areas of responsibility have up to now been vested in the
Group Chief Executive, who is still directly in charge of Group Treasury, the
Group Secretariat, Group Legal Affairs, Corporate Communications and Internal
Audit in addition to the executive managerial responsibility.
The areas of responsibility of the other Group Managing Directors are
unchanged.
As from 1 March, Nykredit's Group Executive Board will subsequently consist of
Pe-ter Engberg Jensen, Group Chief Executive, and Søren Holm, Karsten Knudsen,
Per Ladegaard, Bente Overgaard and Niels Tørslev, all Group Managing Directors.
