He will be responsible for contributing to the further development and implementation of the company's 'FremgangSammen' strategy.
Commenting on the appointment, Wiesener said, "I look forward to contributing to the collaboration in Dagrofa, which is in the midst of an ambitious strategy, where the interaction between a professional board of directors, a forward-looking group management and not least the many talented employees is crucial [...]"
Wiesener brings extensive experience, having served as CEO of EDC Gruppen, EVP of digital and business development at Alka Forsikring, and the CIO of Falck.
'Solid Experience In IT'
Chief financial officer of Dagrofa, Thomas Børner commented, "Martin comes with highly relevant and solid experience in IT and management and is well equipped to further develop and strengthen our IT organisation together with our employees for the benefit of merchants and customers."
Wiesener succeeds Sune Vorre, who has decided to step down from the position after 10 years.

"I am proud of the results we have achieved and of having contributed to the continued positive development of Dagrofa and wish the company all the best for the future."
