Christian Lanng is CEO, chairman and co-founder of Tradeshift, with the lead responsibility of shaping strategy and vision. Founded in 2010, the business is based on his mission to change the way businesses communicate with each other.

After his first start-up at the age of 19, Lanng took a position in the Danish government where he launched its new strategy to connect with its suppliers in a different way. It’s here that he met his fellow co-founders and the priorities of the Tradeshift project were born – free, global, open.
