On Friday, Jyske Realkredit announced a significant change in its executive leadership, with the retirement of CEO Carsten Tirsbæk Madsen set for the second quarter of 2025. Madsen's departure will mark the end of a distinguished 34-year tenure with the company, which began at BRFkredit in 1990. During his career, Madsen has played a pivotal role in the firm, including his leadership as CEO since 2014 and as chairman of key mortgage banking associations.
Anders Lund Hansen, a long-time member of Jyske Realkredit's team with 16 years of service, has been slated to take over the CEO position in the second quarter of 2025. Since June 2023, Hansen has been a member of the Executive Board, bringing extensive experience in balance management and a history of various roles within investment and trading at Jyske Realkredit.
Furthermore, the Supervisory Board has also appointed Lisbeth Arentzen to the Executive Board, effective from June 1, 2025. Arentzen, transitioning from a leadership role in Jyske Bank’s credit function, brings over 20 years of experience at Jyske Bank and over three decades in the financial sector, with numerous managerial positions in credit.
Niels Erik Jakobsen, Chairman of the Supervisory Board, expressed gratitude to Madsen for his dedication and contributions, especially highlighting his advocacy for the Danish mortgage model and his role in the merger with Jyske Bank. Jakobsen also conveyed confidence in Hansen's ability to steer Jyske Realkredit forward, citing his deep market understanding and strong internal profile. He also acknowledged the value Arentzen's extensive credit knowledge will add to the Executive Board.
Upon Hansen's promotion to CEO, the Executive Board of Jyske Realkredit will comprise Anders Lund Hansen as CEO, Lisbeth Arentzen as Director, and Torben Hansen as Director. The company has communicated this transition through its corporate channels, ensuring stakeholders are informed of the forthcoming changes in its leadership structure.
