Don’t be fooled by Mette’s young face! She is already an experienced accountant and is Head of Accounting.

When Mette started working for us - not only did she work full time, but studied also part time at Copenhagen Business School to finish her master’s degree in Science in Economics and Business Administration.

Mette is known for having several irons in the fire, so, when you ask her – “what do you do in your free time”, she laughs… and you understand why. The few hours left in her busy life is devoted to her boyfriend, her little son who thinks sleep is overrated, friends and the golden doodle, Laika.
