Nordea announced on 4 December 2024 that it was making changes to its Group Leadership Team, appointing Kirsten Renner, already Head of Group Technology, and Mads Skovlund Pedersen, the incoming Head of Group Business Support and current Head of Personal Banking Denmark, as members of the GLT, with both taking up their GLT positions from 1 February 2025\. The appointments follow Nordea's decision to split its Group Business Support function into two units, Group Technology and Group Business Support, and are pending regulatory approval.

The announcement also confirmed that Erik Ekman would step down from the Group Leadership Team as part of the changes. 

#### RENNER JOINS GLT AS HEAD OF GROUP TECHNOLOGY

Kirsten Renner, who joined Nordea in 2022 and already leads Group Technology, now joins the GLT. 

#### PEDERSEN TAKES GROUP BUSINESS SUPPORT ROLE

Mads Skovlund Pedersen joins the GLT as Head of Group Business Support. Pedersen will also continue as Nordea's Country Senior Executive in Denmark.

Splitting the former Group Business Support function into two units, each headed by a GLT member, gives technology and business support separate representation in the bank's top management team.
