Jorgensen joins Saxo Bank from LEGO Group where he has been since 2013.
Initially working as company vice president, he was in charge of the firm's digital business.
In January of 2017, he was promoted and moved into a more commercial role, managing the toy company’s French and Iberian business operations from its Paris office.
Prior to that position, he worked as the CEO and chief financial officer of IO Interactive - a Danish video game company that developed the Hitman franchise.
According to Saxo Bank’s statement, Jorgensen will be focusing his efforts on developing customer experience at the trading firm.
Noting its customers increasing demands, the company said that “enhancing the SaxoExperience for clients… is a strategic priority.”
