Peter Thomsen Chairman of DECC Small Company Member |
I have been a member of DECC since the beginning in 2007, and have used DECC as a place to meet my good friends and at the same time meet new people and get knowledge from interesting seminars and events. Not so seldom I have been able to use my contacts from DECC in my business, either directly or helping others! I see the future for DECC as a place to meet socially and keeping Yourself up-to-date with current issues such as legislation – but also about issues You wouldn't normally be involved in or would have knowledge about. At the same time, DECC should be a place for business connections and relations will be developed, and place where members will feel that they are getting something from being member. In 2015, I am actively involved organizing the business and networking conference on agriculture, Nordic Open 2015.
During my first Chairman period in 2019-2020, I have also been involved in FICE (Foreign Investors Council in Estonia) workgroup, with focus on education in Estonia. This work I will continue in the following year – now we have made the basic work, now we need to move forward. I will work for an active and relevant chamber in the following election time, creating value for our members – and get more members. |

I am half Danish, half Italian, and an experienced, Estonian-speaking professional within the processed timber industry, having since 2001 developed a well established wholesale export network from Estonia to several European countries, based on quality, service and innovative wood-based products.

I have also started the joint-venture SBM FastWood OÜ, the official distributor in the Baltic Republics of Accoya, the world's leading high technology long life wood. On the side, I am also the founder and owner of The Red Baron International OÜ, an authorized wine importer marketing a range of selected and exclusive Italian brands, together with wine accessories and cellar furnishings. I have experience in various different industries; however, his career focus has been continuously in international trading and management. I am a real European, with multiple citizenships and a multicultural background, speaking fluently several different languages. As a member of the DECC, I want to represent and interact with all members equally and transparently, and work with the rest of the council in order to achieve a higher level of value for members, as part of the clear strategy. I am committed to refreshing the image and increasing the size of the organization, in a way that will make our organization stronger and more attractive for new members to join, and for the other organizations to cooperate with.

Terje Henriksen |
Since end 90's I been a member of the Danish Estonian Chamber of Commerce ("Club" as it was named that time) - for me it's always been a pleasure to join the team, as I strongly believe we actually have made a difference in helping & supporting connecting Danish & Estonian companies & interest together. As a member of the council, I would like to pursuit a greater corporation with Estonian & Danish organizations situated in Denmark - by this way, better to be able to link up our members with opportunities and partners not only from Estonia BUT also directly from Denmark. Last year we had a very successful trip to Denmark - businesses across the boarders was linked up, and this I what I like to encourage more to happen again. |

Kaire Luuk Kontiki Traveles OÜ NGO Western-Harju Partnership Private Member |
I grow up in Jõhvi, North-Eastern part of Estonia. I have been quite a world traveler and I have had a wonderful opportunity to study, live and work in many countries like England, Canada, The United States of America, Netherlands, and Denmark. I have several years of experience in event management and tourism industry. Desire to learn more about event management took me to study at universities in Denmark. I studied and lived 8 years in Aalborg, Northern Jutland and fell in love with Denmark. Its culture, “Hygge”, togetherness in families, home traditions are just some of the things everyone can learn something good from. Since I have moved back to Estonia and settled in Tallinn, I have been working in different fields like License Manager at AS Eesti AGA /The Linde Group, Program Director/Tour leader in Scandinavia at Grand Circle Cruise Lines and as a Development Project Manager at The Estonian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ECCI). I joined the Danish Estonian Chamber of Commerce in 2016 and was elected to be a member of the Council in 2018. I am intensely interested in contributing my skills and experience to Danish Estonian Chamber of Commerce. My personal wish is, that cultural relations between Denmark and Estonia will grow in terms of official and individual contacts considerably and I believe that Danish Estonian Chamber of Commerce can contribute to that greatly. |
