We are pleased to welcome Astrid Krag to MU as part of our International Public and ESG Expert Practice. Astrid will be based in Hellerup, Denmark bringing her experience and perspective into close collaboration with colleagues across the organisation.
Astrid brings more than 18 years of experience from Danish politics, government, board work and international organisations. She has played a key role in major reforms within welfare, healthcare, elderly care, child welfare, and municipal finance. She also has a strong personal interest in healthcare and life science.
Throughout her career, Astrid has achieved results by bringing people together across sectors and interests. She has extensive experience in strategic leadership, communication, transformation, governance, stakeholder engagement and change management in complex organisations.
At MU, Astrid will contribute her knowledge of leadership in public and socially critical organisations, political and regulatory processes, and cross-sector partnerships. Her international experience includes work with the EU, the UN, the World Bank and the Nordic Council, as well as capacity-building projects in Asia.
We look forward to welcoming Astrid and to bringing her experience, perspectives and network into play for our clients, colleagues and partners.
“With Astrid’s extensive experience in international public affairs, strong commitment to ESG and sustainability, and deep understanding of life sciences, she brings a valuable combination of expertise and perspective to MU. Just as importantly, we are gaining a thoughtful and engaging new colleague who will help strengthen our offering across these key areas and support collaboration between practices. Based in the MU Private Team in Copenhagen, she will play an important role in developing opportunities at the intersection of International Public, ESG and Life Sciences.” -Peter Torjussen, Partner & Executive Coach (ICF), MU
“Astrid’s background in public leadership, political processes and international collaboration will bring valuable perspective to our International Public and ESG Expert Practice. Her insight into the public sector and socially critical organisations will strengthen our ability to advise leaders facing increasingly complex societal challenges and to build partnerships with public-sector clients internationally.” - Christian Nyhlén, Global Practice Head Public Sector, MU
“Everything begins and ends with people. That is one of the clearest lessons I take with me from nearly two decades in top-level politics.
We are navigating major geopolitical shifts and rapid technological development with far-reaching consequences. In a more complex and unpredictable world, knowledge-based and professional leadership matters more than ever — and I look forward to contributing to that at MU.” -Astrid Krag
