Thomas Ahrenkiel
Thomas Ahrenkiel is a Danish intelligence officer who has been appointed as the new head of the Danish Defence Intelligence Service (Forsvarets Efterretningstjeneste) effective September 1. He previously held this position from 2010 to 2015 and is returning to the role after a period of significant changes within the agency. His appointment comes in the wake of the controversy surrounding the previous leadership, particularly following the home-sending of Lars Findsen in 2020. Ahrenkiel's return marks a notable comeback in a critical time for Danish intelligence operations.
