When the three newly appointed members of DTU's Board of Governors – Marianne Dahl, Charlotte Rønhof and Kasper Moth-Poulsen – step into the university's strategic management, they bring decades of experience from business, academia and board work in Denmark and abroad.
Marianne Dahl holds an MSc in Business Administration and is a professional board member and Senior Advisor at the Boston Consulting Group. She has previously been CEO of Microsoft Denmark and held a number of other management positions.
Dairy engineer Charlotte Rønhof is a professional board member and has for many years been a director of the Confederation of Danish Industry, with education and research as her area of responsibility.
Kasper Moth-Poulsen (PhD) is an ICREA professor at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia and a professor at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. He has experience leading international research groups and establishing and developing research-based start-ups.
Board Chair Margrethe Vestager is looking forward to working with the newly appointed board members:
“With their respective profiles, they will strengthen the board's work in general and the work on a new strategy for DTU. Marianne Dahl's deep insight into digitalization, Charlotte Rønhof's extensive experience and network in education, research and innovation in a political-administrative context, and Kasper Moth-Poulsen's international university platform are all skills that will be valuable in the Board's future work,” she says.
Marianne Dahl, Charlotte Rønhof and Kasper Moth-Poulsen are appointed from 1 January 2025 - 31 December 2028 and replace Thea Larsen, Susanne Juhl and Hanne Søndergaard, who retired from the board at the end of 2024.
