NTG Nordic Transport Group (“NTG”) announces the appointment of Carsten Trolle as CEO of its Air & Ocean division

Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

NTG is pleased to announce the appointment of Carsten Trolle as CEO of its Air & Ocean division, effective immediately. Carsten brings extensive expertise to NTG, having successfully managed and scaled multinational air and ocean operations over the course of his +40-year career, most recently as CEO of Air & Sea at DSV from 2015 to 2024.

Strategic transformation

Following a global strategic review of the Air & Ocean division, NTG initiated a global strategic transformation at the end of 2025, aimed at unlocking greater organic growth and profitability. The transformation adopts a ‘back to basics’ approach, focused on advancing the division’s development within each market across NTG’s footprint through accelerated enhancements to operating procedures, a refined commercial go-to-market strategy, and organisational strengthening. It also places greater emphasis on incubating new businesses in markets where no current presence exists, supporting accelerated organic growth.

Carsten’s appointment represents a key milestone in advancing this strategic transformation.

Prior to joining NTG, Carsten oversaw the global air and ocean operations at DSV from 2015 to 2024. With more than four decades of experience from DSV, Carsten has demonstrated exceptional ability in optimising operational performance, driving both organic and inorganic expansion, and leading transformational acquisitions. His comprehensive integration skills will be invaluable as NTG pursues global expansion of its Air & Ocean division through both organic initiatives and M&A.

Mathias Jensen-Vinstrup, Group CEO of NTG, commented: “Carsten’s appointment as CEO of our Air & Ocean division marks a pivotal moment in our strategy to replicate NTG’s success in Road & Logistics within the global air and ocean market. The move is a testimony to our distinctive operating model, built on an entrepreneurial philosophy, accountability, and operational freedom, complemented by scalable processes and digital infrastructure. I am excited to embark on this next chapter for our Air & Ocean division together with Carsten”.

On his appointment, Carsten stated: “I am enthusiastic about joining NTG and guiding the continued evolution of its Air & Ocean division. NTG’s flat organisational structure and dedication to empowering commercial and operational teams, while keeping customer and employee focus at the forefront, make it an ideal fit, and I look forward to what the future holds”.

Carsten will assume his role on April 1, 2026, based in the United States, and will join NTG’s Group Management team, which as of April 1, 2026, consists of:

  • Mathias Jensen-Vinstrup, Group CEO
  • Tinneke Torpe, Group CFO
  • Jesper E. Petersen, CEO of Road & Logistics
  • Carsten Trolle, CEO of Air & Ocean
  • Daniel Leegaard Hede, Group CIO
