I have throughout my career within the financial sector worked diligently to create transparency and this opportunity, combined with the role of DFBF, is what I would describe as a perfect match”. 

Mark Beaumont, Director at Global Rate Set Systems and Chairman of DFBF says, “I am delighted that Nina has agreed to take on the role and to help us ensure that the benchmarks we manage continue to serve the best interests of the Danish financial markets “.
