Royal Greenland appoints new CEO with strong international competencies and Greenlandic roots

Toke Binzer

Royal Greenland has appointed Toke Binzer as the new CEO, effective December 1, 2025.

With this appointment, Royal Greenland strengthens its strategic leadership and confirms both its international position and its roots in Greenland. 

Chairman of the Board, Niels Thomsen, states:  
 
"It is with great pleasure that Royal Greenland welcomes Toke Binzer. The Board looks forward to the opportunities his experience and leadership style will bring. We share the ambitions of high professionalism, execution power, and a strong anchoring in Greenland – so I am very much looking forward to the collaboration." 

International experience and local insight  
Toke Binzer brings solid experience from international corporations such as IBM and TDC, where he has worked with complex transformation and development tasks. This background gives him the best qualifications to lead a global company like Royal Greenland. 

At the same time, through his time as director at Tusass, he has gained an in-depth knowledge of Greenlandic business and societal conditions. This combination of international experience and local insight makes him particularly suited to lead a company that is both an international market leader and a central societal player in Greenland. 

Strong personal anchoring in Greenland  
Toke Binzer grew up in Nuuk and returned to the city with his wife and two sons in connection with his job change to Tusass. With his personal anchoring in Greenland, he has a deep understanding of Royal Greenland's significance – both as one of the country's largest employers and as a central driving force in the Greenlandic economy. 

The end of an interim period  
The current interim CEO, Preben Sunke, states:  
 
"It has been an honor to lead Royal Greenland, albeit for a short time. I now look forward, together with the rest of the Board, to collaborating with Toke to execute the strategy and restore the economy."
