The Danish Financial Supervisory Authority has appointed two new deputy directors to fill vacancies in its executive management, with both set to start after the summer holiday. Rigmor Ansdal will take up the role of legal deputy director, while Mette Tams Kitaj will become deputy director for capital markets and conduct supervision. Ansdal joins from GF Forsikring, where she was group head of legal, and has previously held senior roles at the authority as well as positions in Danske Bank and private legal practice. Kitaj joins from Nykredit, where she was an executive director responsible for capital and liquidity, and previously worked in the Danish Ministry of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs. The authority’s executive management will then consist of Director Louise Mogensen and four deputy directors: Carsten Brogaard, Kristian Vie Madsen, Mette Tams Kitaj and Rigmor Ansdal. To address potential conflicts of interest, both new deputy directors will be subject to a six-month cooling-off period during which they cannot participate in cases relating to their former employers, GF Forsikring and Nykredit, respectively. The exact start dates after the summer holiday have not yet been set.
