Full name: Jens Obel Jørgensen
Born: 1970 (53)
Location: Ikast, Denmark
Occupation: CEO, DK Company
Matinique in two words: Continuous / Innovative
You in two words: Empathic / Present

When did you believe in yourself the most?
During the corona pandemic, we were under pressure we had never experienced before, and we had to think and act in a new way. The support we received from the organisation along the way made us believe in ourselves, and that we were doing the right things.

Which Matinique item in your wardrobe holds a special story - and why?
A navy blazer that I have worn to many meetings and events, it has become a safe wardrobe favourite.

What do you dream of?
We still dream of doubling the company’s turnover, and we have high expectations, especially for Matinique, which is our flagship on the men’s side. We believe that if we continue to focus on the brand’s existing values, it has great potential.
