Olesen -- who formerly worked as sales director at Tulip Food Company, a part of the Danish Crown Group -- will head up the company’s sales divisions and report to CEO Flemming Knudsen.

“With the engagement of Bruno Olesen, Royal Greenland will get a director with more than 20 years of experience in international food sales -- both branded products and private label,” said Knudsen. “He is accustomed to maneuvering in large organizations and during his career he has successfully compiled, implemented and anchored new business strategies.”
