2023 – Peter la Cour Gormsen has decided to pursue opportunities
outside GN

continue in his position well into 2023, thus managing the
financial closing of 2022 as well as the annual reporting for
2022.
As new CFO for the GN Group, GN is pleased to announce the
appointment of Søren Jelert, who will join GN during Q2 2023. Søren
is an internationally experienced finance professional, who joins
GN from ALK-Abello. As the ALK-Abello CFO since 2018, Søren has
provided strong leadership, built a strong team and built solid
relationships with investors, ensuring that strategy and
performance were clearly communicated. Prior to this position Søren
has a strong track record of building and leading best-in-class
global finance organizations for companies such as Novo Nordisk and
NNE Pharmaplan (see brief resumé for Søren Jelert at the end of
this announcement).
Chairman of GN’s Board of Directors, Per Wold-Olsen, comments:
“We are very pleased to have attracted such an experienced and
strong financial leader as Søren Jelert to take over as our new
CFO. We are also pleased that Peter Gormsen has accepted to stay on
during his notice period to ensure a professional handover to
Søren. The GN Store Nord Board is confident that GN’s financial
organization will transition smoothly and professionally to the new
leadership. Peter has built a great finance team and throughout
seven years actively supported GN Audio’s remarkable growth
journey, for which we sincerely thank him.”
Søren Jelert comments: ”I’m looking forward very much to joining
GN and contribute to driving the desired business results. While
the current macro-environment is challenging and also has impacted
GN, I see the company’s fundamental business drivers as fully
intact and very attractive. I am truly excited by the company’s
commitment to innovation and its global reach. As a Group CFO I see
the financial and external challenge presenting a lot of
opportunities, which I look forward to pursuing together with GN’s
new leadership team.”
Peter la Cour Gormsen comments: ”The past seven years with GN
has been a tremendous journey for me. I have had the privilege to
lead and work alongside extremely talented managers and team
members, who have accomplished amazing results that we hardly
dreamt of when I joined the company. I wish them all the best as I
now look to the next chapter of my career.”
