    Dear Mr. Pasetti,

    Thanks for sharing the analysis, good one. I agree with your thoughts that DSV really needs to convince investors that this will be again a growth story (I doubt).
    If it is done then it needs careful intricate re-organisation process. There was no mention of the heavy investment which is done on there IT platform “TWILL”.

    Lovely reading your article. Looking forward for more.
    regards

      Many thanks, great to hear you find our coverage useful! I am looking closely at Twill, and associated investment needs; hope I’ll be able to share some additional insight soon.

      Best,

      Ale
