Copenhagen / Aarhus
To meet the increasing demand for specialized advisory services within the financial sector, CMP is expanding its partner group and increasing its physical footprint. The company has appointed Lene Hjortshøj as Partner; a prominent profile bringing more than 35 years of deep professional expertise within capital markets and energy trading. She officially assumes her role June 1st, 2026, coinciding with the opening of CMP’s new office in Aarhus.
The inclusion of Lene Hjortshøj in the partner group, the regional expansion to Aarhus, and the recent opening of the Oslo office mark strategic and natural next steps in CMP’s ongoing growth journey. The firm is dedicated to assisting banks, asset managers, and pension companies with consulting services ranging from regulatory reporting to M&A services. With a solid background spanning both established banking and the consulting industry, Lene strengthens the firm’s position as the sector’s preferred advisor within business development, risk management, and complex technological infrastructure.
The decision to establish a presence in Aarhus is driven by a growing demand for specialized financial services across Jutland. This new office allows CMP to be closer to regional clients, enhancing the ability to deliver tailored, high-level support and navigate their complex needs locally.
“Our clients increasingly demand specialized, top-tier expertise to navigate today’s complex market conditions. Having Lene on board significantly strengthens our capacity to deliver just that. Her core strengths within Strategy & Business Development, Risk Management & Compliance, and Technology & System Architecture make her a perfect match for CMP and, most importantly, for the financial institutions we support. Furthermore, establishing our third location in Aarhus – hot on the heels of our new Oslo office – allows us to be closer to key clients and tap into vibrant regional markets.” Says Kenneth Brandborg, Managing Partner at CMP.
A Heavyweight Profile with Extensive Nordic Experience
Lene Hjortshøj brings a rare combination of operational and strategic experience to the table. Most recently, she successfully built the Nordic consulting team from scratch at Fenixys, servicing leading banks and energy trading firms across both Denmark and Norway. Her extensive background enables her to bridge the gap between high-level advisory and hands-on execution.
Her professional weight aligns perfectly with CMP’s core business areas, where financial institutions require deep domain knowledge to handle strict regulatory demands and structural market shifts.
“CMP was a natural choice for me. We operate within the same professional domain and share a passion for deep technical expertise combined with strong execution power. But most importantly, we share the same core values: high commercial ambitions, the courage to invest in the right opportunities, and an uncompromising focus on creating real, tangible value for both clients and employees.” Says Lene Hjortshøj.
With this leadership expansion and a growing network of offices across Denmark and Norway, CMP stands even stronger to advise Nordic capital market participants and energy companies through the next wave of regulatory and technological changes.
