Agillic adds great value to the business of its clients in terms of increased sales, higher conversion rates and reduced churn. I look very much forward to start as CFO, and to assist in the further international scale-up of the Agillic platform, as well as to unleash the significant potential of Agillic. I strongly believe that I can contribute to Agillic's continued growth and internationalisation with my experience from international business development and expansion of SaaS companies.”

“It has been a pleasure being part of Agillic's financial and commercial development following the Company's IPO on Nasdaq First North Growth Market Denmark, including the Company recently reporting a positive EBITDA for the first half of 2020. However, I have, for some time considered moving to a position where I, to a higher degree, may utilize my investment experience in combination with my operational experience. On this background, I will as per 1 October 2020 start as Partner in the investment company Dain Partners that is working with a unique combination of capital investments and extensive operational involvement.”
