Crossed looks - September 5th
Denmark and France are only 1,5 hours apart by airplane. On many fronts, the two countries share many of the same traits. However, we still see some differences, notably on the management front.
On the 5th of September, the Chamber is delighted to welcome two speakers, who will give their views on their experiences as a French manager expatriated in Denmark and a Danish manager expatriated in France.
- Marc Essig: After his first experience in the Scandinavian countries in 2006, Marc came back to Denmark for the second time in 2015 as Director of the Nordic and Baltic countries for Thales. Thales is a global technology leader for the Aerospace, Transport, Defense and Security markets. Thales has been involved in Danish projects since 1991 and now, due to the significance of the Group’s activities and the market outlooks in the country, Thales has since established a formal country office in January 2015. Here, with 120 employees, Thales provides innovative solutions and advanced technologies in Defense, Ground Transportation and Air Traffic Management.
