ISS Group CEO Resigns to Join Carlsberg

ISS Group CEO Resigns to Join Carlsberg
16 March 2023
 

Jacob Aarup-Andersen, Group CEO of ISS, has resigned his position and accepted a new job as CEO of Carlsberg Group.

Jacob joined ISS in September 2020, having worked for Danske Bank A/S and Goldman Sachs previously. He will stay on as Group CEO until a successor has been found.

“At ISS, I have been incredibly blessed to work with a fantastic team and organisation who have all made this transformation possible. I am leaving the company somewhat sooner than I had anticipated; however, the offer to join Carlsberg as their CEO was a career opportunity that I could not pass up. Thankfully, ISS is in great shape with a strong leadership team for the future,” he said.

Commenting on the resignation, Niels Smedegaard, Chair of the ISS Board of Directors, said: “Although we regret Jacob’s decision to leave the company, ISS is now in a much stronger position compared to a few years back. We have a solid strategic, commercial, and operational foundation and a strong leadership team to continue the execution of the OneISS strategy. I am confident that we can continue the great progress we have seen under Jacob’s leadership.”
