Carsten Tirsbæk Madsen, the current CEO, will retire during the second quarter of 2025 after a tenure of 34 years with the company, which was formerly known as BRFkredit. Madsen's career began in 1990 at BRFkredit, where he ascended to the executive board in 2001 and took on the role of CEO of Jyske Realkredit in 2014.
Anders Lund Hansen has been appointed as the new CEO, set to take the helm in the second quarter of 2025. Hansen has a 16-year history with Jyske Realkredit and has been a part of the executive board since June 2023. His extensive experience in balance management and various roles in the investment and trading field within the company positions him as a seasoned successor.
Additionally, the board has appointed Lisbeth Arentzen as a new member of the executive board, effective from June 1, 2025. Arentzen, with over 30 years of experience in the financial sector, joins from a role as area director in Jyske Bank's credit function, where she has worked for 20 years. Her extensive expertise in credit management is expected to bring valuable insights to the company.
