KJELD KIRK
KRISTIANSEN Chairman
The LEGO Group Denmark
SIR ROCCO FORTE Group chairman Rocco Forte Hotels United Kingdom
Fourth-generation heir to his family’s hospitality dynasty, Rocco became chairman when his father stepped down in 1992. However, after Forte Plc fell victim to a hostile takeover in the 1990s, Rocco used the capital to found luxury hotel company Rocco Forte Hotels. Over the years, the company has expanded to 14 hotels, which collectively turned over $267 million in 2018. His daughter Lydia joined the firm after earning her MBA from INSEAD and won CampdenFB’s Top Family Business Rising Star Award at the European Families in Business Awards 2018.
Kjeld Kirk is the third- generation owner of his family’s toy company and was its president and chief executive from 1979 to 2004. He brought in professional management in the early 2000s—a move that has paid off handsomely with the company reporting $5.5 billion in revenue in 2018. Earlier this year, Kjeld Kirk stepped down from the board, leaving his son Thomas to lead the company. For the past 15 years Thomas has been groomed to take over, joining the board as a director in 2007.
LAKSHMI MITTAL Chief executive ArcelorMittal Luxembourg
ANE MÆRSK MC-
KINNEY UGGLA Vice chairman Maersk Group Denmark
One of the most powerful women in Denmark, Mc- Kinney Uggla has chaired the AP Møller Foundation, which owns the controlling stake in the Mærsk Group, since 2010. The world’s largest container shipping company now has a revenue of $31.18 billion (2018), with subsidiaries across 130 countries and about 88,000 employees. Her two sons, fourth- generation Robert Mærsk Uggla and Johan Pedersson Uggla, both have executive roles in the company, with Robert tipped to be heir apparent to the family business.
Hailing from a family steel business started by his father in India, Lakshmi separated from his siblings to start Mittal Steel, then went on to merge the company with France’s Arcelor in 2006. Now the largest steel producer in the world, the company reported revenues of $76 billion in 2018. His son, Aditya, the president and chief financial officer of ArcelorMittal, who led Mittal Steel’s offer for Arcelor, and its merger with Mittal Steel, has been tipped to succeed his father as chairman.
