DHI has during the past years successfully implemented a digital transformation. The transformation is at a stage where the Board of Directors has concluded that it is a good time to make a leadership change to continue the development of DHI.
Jakob Thomasen, Chairman of DHI Board of Directors, comments: “I would like to thank Antoine for what he has accomplished with his visionary leadership during a time of massive change in DHI. Without his bold vision and strong drive, our digital journey would not be where it is today. I wish Antoine all the best in the future”.
Antoine Labrosse says: “After 20 years in the company, and 7 as CEO, this is a good time for me to hand over the baton. I am very proud of having progressed Cloud Bridge, our digital strategy to a point where we are in the market with new disruptive products. I will surely stay in touch with the company and I look forward to seeing the future successes “.
DHI Board of Directors has appointed Mette Vestergaard as new CEO. Mette comes with a strong background in transformation, digitalization and sustainability, as well as extensive experience in global leadership and advisory services. She currently holds the position as Executive Vice President of People & Transformation in LEO Pharma, and she has previously been CEO of Mannaz A/S and Vice President in Novozymes. She has held numerous positions of trust, including being a board member in DHI, a position she will now resign.
Jakob Thomasen comments: “We have been through an extensive search process to find the right person to lead DHI. At the end, it turned out to be someone close to the company. I am very happy to welcome Mette as CEO and look forward to working with her to further strengthen DHI as a global expert in water solutions. Mette possesses a unique combination of leadership, transformation, digitalization, consulting and research. I am confident that she will take DHI the next steps forward to help solving the enormous water challenges that the world isfacing.“

As member of the Board, I have gained enormous respect for the company, and I look very much forward to working with the incredibly skilled and passionate people in DHI. I am deeply impressed by their extensive knowledge of water, and their relentless drive to develop new sustainable solutions. This is a great foundation for the future”.
