Karsten Munk Knudsen

Chief Financial Officer at Novo Nordisk where we drive change to defeat serious chronic diseases, built upon our heritage in diabetes. To fulfill our purpose, we pioneer scientific breakthroughs, expand access to our medicines, and work to prevent and ultimately cure disease – and we’re committed to doing so in a socially, environmentally, and financially sustainable way. As CFO, the key priority for my team and I is to ensure that we allocate our resources and capital in a way that enables us to reach more people with serious chronic diseases with our innovative medicines. This, in turn, allows us to create long-term sustainable growth for the benefit of our shareholders. Also, as the Executive Vice President of Finance, Legal & Global Solutions, I’m privileged to lead a great team that supports Novo Nordisk’s growth journey by safeguarding the business, providing corporate infrastructure, and driving value creation.
