Daniel Schmidt Christensen will join Marcussen & Søn Orgelbyggeri A/S as CEO on 1 January 2024. The company's current CEO Claudia Zachariassen will become chairman of the board.
Since 2015, Daniel has been employed as an intonator at Marcussen & Søn, and since March 2019 he has been a co-owner and part of the company's management, with the title of Sales Director.
"When Daniel joined the group of owners in 2019, we, in collaboration with our then Chairman of the Board, laid out a plan for the company's future, and we are now taking the next step in that process. Over the years, Daniel has thoroughly familiarised himself with the company's business and customers, and through his work with organ voicing, he has also acquired in-depth knowledge of the company's production, and throughout the years we have had a very good and trusting collaboration. I am therefore convinced that Daniel possesses the right qualifications to take over as CEO of Marcussen & Søn. I will continue with some of my current tasks in the role of - working - chairman of the board," says Claudia Zachariassen.
Daniel Schmidt Christensen is 42 years old, he trained as an organ builder at Bruno Christensen & Sønner in 2003, and he is also a qualified electrician. He learnt intonation from Jens Christensen, who for decades was a highly valued intonator at Marcussen & Søn. At the same time, Daniel has been employed as an organist at Christ Church in Kolding and in Skanderup Parish.
