She previously worked in the economics department at Danmarks Nationalbank, giving her unique institutional insight into Danish monetary policy dynamics. Sofie joined Vessel at its founding in 2018.

Before Vessel, he held roles at commodity trading firms in London and Stockholm, managing analytical frameworks for cross-asset portfolios. His macroeconomic commentary is regularly featured in Danish financial media and investor presentations.
Lene Vestergaard
Lene focuses on the rapidly expanding universe of UCITS ETFs available to European investors.

Oliver Brandt
Oliver specialises in major and emerging market currency pairs with particular emphasis on the Danish krone peg mechanism, EUR/USD dynamics and Scandinavian currency markets.

His DKK peg analysis is referenced by Danish pension fund managers and corporate treasurers.
