Pernille Lind Olsen said, “I am very excited to join Faerch and to lead such a forward-thinking and innovative team and company. I firmly believe that sustainability is not only the right thing to do but also the path to profitable growth, and it is inspiring to see Faerch’s strides in combining the two. I look forward to working with the skilled Faerch team to continue our journey towards circularity and pioneer new solutions that benefit both our business and the environment.”
Pernille is in the process of relocating to Denmark to work from Faerch’s Holstebro HQ.
