DFDS-chef stopper efter 23 år

Anders Refsgaard har besluttet at forlade DFDS efter 23 års ansættelse. Den mangeårige vice president, der har haft en central rolle i udviklingen af rederiets baltiske færgeforretning, stopper den 31. marts 2027.

"Beslutningen om at stoppe er helt min egen," skriver Anders Refsgaard på LinkedIn.

Han begyndte sin karriere som shippingelev hos DFDS i 1990, men skiftede i 1997 til Scandlines, inden han vendte tilbage til DFDS i 2003.

Fra 2006 til 2009 var han administrerende direktør for DFDS Lisco i Litauen, og fra 2010 stod han i spidsen for rederiets samlede baltiske forretning.

Her var han blandt andet med til at udvikle rutenettet i Østersøen og stod i spidsen for forretningen, da de to nye storfærger Aura Seaways og Luna Seaways blev indsat mellem Litauen og Sverige i 2022.

Siden 2023 har Anders Refsgaard haft ansvaret for at opbygge DFDS' globale kommercielle organisation med blandt andet salg, marketing, kundeservice og forretningsudvikling.

Hvad næste skridt i karrieren skal være, er endnu ikke besluttet, oplyser han på LInkedin.
