About

Regardless of her relatively new appointment, initially as legal, risk and compliance officer at DT Group, Christine Bruhn Tuxen has hit the ground running. She has made pivotal changes to the legal department embedding an electronic legal case management system on a Salesforce platform (Riskonnect), which allows for the management and cost control of all cases across the Nordics and a function which allows automatic reporting to the parent company. She founded the Nordic legal services in Finland and Sweden, ‘establishing a risk management culture across the Nordic Business units’ with the DT general counsel, ‘using modern technology to communicate complex matters in a creative way’. She also assisted the general counsel in the formation of the Dawn Raid app which allows information to be processed across a wider international group in a more time efficient manner. ‘The dawn raid app allows senior management and internal lawyers to concentrate on meeting and managing the authorities on the premises without delay’. Her efforts have been rewarded by her recent promotion to head of legal as of the 1st of August 2015. Prior to the DT Group, Bruhn Tuxen was employed with Scandinavian Airlines where her biggest achievement was to devise and implement a Nordic marketing compliance program while dealing with strategically important wet lease contacts for the Airline. Bruhn Tuxen’s ability to take on a new project and make many new improvements that assist in efficiency can be accredited to her personal goals. ‘I feel that I have been given a once in a lifetime opportunity to not only set my own legal services team but to also influence and create how the legal team function’. One nominator believes that Bruhn Tuxen stands out due to her ‘clear form of communication and proactive strategic and legal decisions’. For her modernisation of legal departments through the use of technology, Bruhn Tuxen can be said to be bringing a new dimension to in-house legal efficiency.
