NEW CEO FOR KIM JOHANSEN – AS PART OF A GENERATIONAL RENEWAL
A new chapter in the proud history of Kim Johansen Transport Group is about to begin.
After 45 years in the driver’s seat and as part of a generational renewal, Kim Johansen will step aside for John Romedahl to take over as CEO.
From June 1st, John will be behind the wheel to strengthen our leadership and involve all hands in our way forward. Besides being the new CEO, John will join as co-owner of the company. Kim continues as owner, majority shareholder, and working board member.
This is our new CEO, John Romedahl
“I first met Kim as his customer, and over the past 16 years on the board, I have seen the company from many perspectives. I had no hesitation when Kim asked me to take on this role. Kim has my deepest respect personally and professionally – and I am humble and honoured to be his successor as CEO at Kim Johansen Transport Group.”, John says.
Kim Johansen is confident about this new milestone in the company’s journey: “This is my dream version of a generational transition—one made with both the heart and the mind. I have known John for more than 20 years and have great trust in his abilities and values. He understands our industry, and—most importantly—he understands people,” Kim explains.
John Romedahl has previously been CEO of the e-commerce company Coolshop and before that, he was CEO of Dao witch he helped develop into a nationwide parcel distributor. With an extensive leadership experience in logistics and operations, John brings a strong combination of strategic insight, logistical experience, data-driven thinking and genuine human understanding.
Recently, John spent the last days on the road, driving incognito with our drivers to get a firsthand understanding of the life as a KJTG driver—emphasizing the importance of knowing the business from the inside out. It says a lot about his approach to people, his curiosity to gain understanding, and his drive to improve. All the time with people at the centre of it all.
With this generational shift, KJTG strengthens both its strategic and operational leadership and takes another step toward a future focused on responsible growth, technological development, and a strong sense of community among employees.
