Jessen brings extensive financial and business expertise from over 15 years in international strategic and operational management positions and supervisory board activities.
He has worked for some well-known international - and mostly family-owned - companies and consultancies. Throughout his career Harald has driven major transformations in diverse settings as well as complex M&A and IT projects.
Based at LINDAL’s headquarters in Hamburg, Germany, Jessen will become the third managing director of LINDAL alongside Francois-Xavier Gilbert and Frédéric Noel.
