Netcompany appoints Mette Kaagaard to accelerate the company’s AI ambitions in Europe

Netcompany is appointing Mette Kaagaard as Partner and Commercial Chief AI Officer (CAIO) for the Netcompany Group. Mette Kaagaard will join Netcompany’s Group Leadership, where she will be responsible for accelerating the company’s AI strategy and business. She will assume the role effective 1 September.

Mette Kaagaard, former Managing Director of Microsoft Denmark, will play a central role in strengthening Netcompany’s development and scaling of AI solutions in close collaboration with Netcompany’s customers.

Netcompany has, as one of the first IT providers, pursued an ambitious strategy aimed at showing European companies and governments how AI solutions can be developed and implemented quickly, securely and responsibly. With Mette Kaagaard responsible for Netcompany’s AI ambitions, the strategic and commercial pace will be accelerated even further.

She has more than 20 years of experience in digital transformation, technology development and the leadership of complex organisations.

André Rogaczewski, CEO of Netcompany:

»Scaling the use of responsible AI in Europe is crucial for our continent’s competitiveness, prosperity and future. Netcompany is already in a strong position, and now we are increasing the pace even further. With Mette Kaagaard, we gain deep technological understanding, strategic perspective, commercial acumen and solid leadership experience. With her background, she knows better than anyone what it takes to further develop, scale and spread AI in our platforms and products for the benefit of our private and public customers.«

He also emphasises that the Danish government’s call for AI to play a larger role in shaping Denmark’s future demands clear answers from the companies capable of delivering.

»We are ready. We have invested and developed scalable solutions to help European countries and companies. With Denmark’s new high ambitions, Mette is the perfect person to ensure that we leverage our unique position both in Denmark and across Europe to scale the use of AI in our platforms and products.«

»In recent years, I’ve worked at the forefront of the AI transformation. My key insight is that technology delivers real value only when it is turned into practical solutions for people and organisations, and when responsibility, security and business considerations are integrated from the outset.«

»AI will shape Europe’s economy, our everyday lives, our businesses and our welfare. My ambition is for Europe not only to keep pace, but to set the standard. We must both master the use of AI and develop our own sovereign solutions.
