Eivind Kolding, Chairman of the NTG Board of Directors, says: “Up to and during the listing of NTG, an Executive Board with 3 Executive Officers was a convenient structure to develop the business of NTG and carry out the transformation to a listed company. As the journey continues, a common single CEO structure is optimal for supporting a strong development of NTG. I am delighted that Michael Larsen has accepted to step into the Executive Board of NTG as CEO.”

Michael Larsen is one of the founders of NTG’s first and largest subsidiary, NTG Nordic A/S, and Michael Larsen has been the CEO of NTG Nordic A/S since 2015.
