Therefore, I am very pleased that Ida has accepted the job as Vice President of Supply Chain in DLG. She has delivered great results every time she has been given a new task and greater challenges. At the same time, she is a very skilled leader who sets direction and creates commitment. Ida comes into her new role with a huge knowledge of the business, which combined with her commercial experience will be crucial in her new position where she will be responsible for Denmark's largest setup of feed production. I look forward welcoming Ida and it satisfies me that she will still be a part of the DLG Group," says Bøje Kjær. 

Solid knowledge of the organization

"I have great respect for the Supply area, where my most important task together with the organization will be to build on the solid foundation, we already have in DLG. In the years I have been in the Group, I have seen across national borders how important it is that we constantly develop our ability to serve customers with quality products in a well-functioning and cost-effective setup. I also see the green transition of our business as an extremely exciting task. In my new role, I look forward to working on optimizing our processes further for the benefit of our customers and owners, and it is a challenge I look forward taking care of with my talented colleagues," says Ida Steensen
