The DR Board has confirmed its choice of Maria Rørbye Rønn as the new Director General of DR, Denmark’s national broadcaster. Since October 2010, Ms Rønn was Director General ad interim at DR following Kenneth Plummer’s resignation.

Rørbye Rønn previously worked in the Justice Ministry and was employed as corporate counsel at DR in 1995. She headed the DR Legal Policy and Strategy Department and has been DR’s representative at the EBU’s Legal and Public Affairs Committee for several years.

At DR, Ms Rønn recently negotiated a new public service agreement and developed a new strategy that is expected to be made public in May.
