Hempel A/S has appointed Peter la Cour Gormsen as CFO and EVP of finance and named René Overgaard Jensen chief transformation & information officer (CTIO) and EVP of digital, strategy & transformation.
Gormsen joins Hempel on June 1, 2023 from the position of group CFO at GN Store Nord A/S, and takes over from Lars Jønstrup Dollerup, who has decided to leave Hempel after five years with the company to pursue other opportunities
Jensen joined Hempel in April 2021 and prior to today’s appointment, he served in the Executive Group Management as head of strategy & transformation.
“Peter will be a great addition to the Hempel Executive Group Management,” said Michael Hansen, Group president and CEO of Hempel A/S. “Peter brings invaluable global finance leadership experience and extensive knowledge of international management, finance, IT, and supply chain. We are excited to welcome Peter on board.”
“I’m looking forward to joining Hempel, an admirable company in the coatings industry with a proud heritage and exciting ambitions for the future. Hempel’s global setup and multifaceted solutions spanning the Decorative, Marine, Energy & Infrastructure segments as well as its sustainability impact and ambitions, combined with the values of giving back to society through the Hempel Foundation, are truly inspiring,” said Gormsen.
Prior to joining GN, Gormsen worked for Novo Nordisk, Novozymes and Chr. Hansen.
“I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Lars for his many contributions to Hempel during the five years he has served as our CFO. He has been instrumental to the results delivered by Hempel and in particular the Finance & Digital function over the years. The function stands on a platform ready to support Hempel further on our exciting Double Impact journey. Now, the scope of the CFO role is changing and Lars has decided to pursue other opportunities. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors,” said Hansen.
“We aim to double Hempel in a financially sustainable way and one of our levers to do so is harmonizing our ways of working to a much higher degree,” said Hansen. “With this new executive function headed by René Overgaard Jensen, we will combine the capabilities that enable a coordinated and efficient transformation of our processes through standardization, automation and digitalization.”
Jensen has extensive international transformation and strategy deployment experience through his previous work with PA Consulting and Maersk, where he, among other things, served as head of transformation and process excellence during a time of extensive and complex transformation.
