Title: Functional manager, CISO Andel Holding

References can be made by agreement.

I like to spend my free time with my son Otto, who is 8 years old. The time is spent on fishing, scientific experiments or inventing pranks. Daily, I disconnect by cooking and looking for challenges in the world of gastronomy. On holidays we catch up on the neglected family visits on Funen and in Jutland.
