At KRING, we exist at the intersection of two worlds: the world of entrepreneurs driven by ideas, purpose, and the ambition to build meaningful “Zebra” companies, and the world of corporates eager to differentiate their value propositions through innovation, partnerships, and the services of our ventures.

Bridging these two worlds is part of our DNA. We are fortunate to collaborate with a network of strong corporate leaders who bring invaluable experience, insight, and networks to accelerate progress. Their involvement helps our ventures move faster and smarter, achieving in months what might otherwise take years.

One of these leaders is Jens Bjørn Andersen, former CEO of DSV.

Jens Bjørn is much more than a seasoned top executive. He is visionary, grounded, and remarkable at cutting through complexity to get to the essence of any challenge. He sees opportunities where others see obstacles and understands what it truly takes to scale a company from an idea to global success.

At KRING, we’re privileged to have Jens Bjørn close to our journey. Every time he visits, his energy fills the room. He challenges us, raises our ambitions, and reminds us what is possible when you dare to think big. At the same time, he listens deeply and stays humble.

Recently, Jens Bjørn joined the board of aescolab, one of our portfolio companies.

Another strong corporate leader joins our journey

We are equally proud to have René Svendsen-Tune as part of our ecosystem. René brings a wealth of global leadership experience from his years as CEO of GN, Nilfisk and Teleca, as well as executive roles at Nokia amongst others. Throughout his career, René has led large organizations through transformation, innovation, and global expansion - always with a sharp focus on people, culture, and execution.

René’s ability to combine strategic clarity with operational excellence makes him a tremendous asset to our community of founders and ventures. Like Jens Bjørn, he represents the kind of leader who bridges the corporate and entrepreneurial worlds with insight, empathy, and drive.

Together, leaders like Jens Bjørn and René exemplify the spirit of collaboration that defines KRING: combining entrepreneurial passion with corporate experience to create ventures that make a real difference.

To all the corporate leaders who are part of our journey - thank you. Thank you for helping us lift our ambitions, move faster, and make an impact every single day.
