Billund, Denmark, 26 March 2019 As a natural next step in the smooth handover to thenext generation between the third and fourth generation of the Kirk Kristiansen family, Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen is stepping down from the Board of Directors of LEGO A/S. This will take place at the company’s next annual general meeting, to be held in April 2019. Through the family’s holding and investment company, KIRKBI A/S, the Kirk Kristiansen family owns 75% of LEGO A/S. The remaining 25% is owned by the LEGO Foundation. Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen continues as Chairman of the Board of Directors of KIRKBI A/S, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of the LEGO Foundation and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ole Kirk’s Foundation. The Kirk Kristiansen family has carefully prepared the smooth handover to the next generation since 2004, when Thomas Kirk Kristiansen, as the most active owner in the fourth generation of the family, joined the Board of Directors of LEGO A/S – first as an observer, and later as a member, as from 2007. In 2016, the family took the first formal steps in the handover to the next generation, when Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen and Thomas Kirk Kristiansen swapped roles in the Board of Directors of LEGO A/S, with Thomas Kirk Kristiansen becoming Deputy Chairman and Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen becoming an ordinary member of the Board. The same applied to the LEGO Foundation Board of Directors, with Thomas Kirk Kristiansen becoming Chairman, and Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen becoming Deputy Chairman. Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen says: “For several years we have been preparing carefully for how we wish to continue to maintain active family ownership across generations. Now, the time has come for the next step, whereby I will step down from the Board of Directors of LEGO A/S. My son Thomas and I have worked closely together in LEGO A/S’ Board of Directors since 2007, and I am very pleased to see how he has developed, and the responsibility he is assuming. I know that he is ready to continue the work of developing LEGO A/S, in close ooperation with the executive management, Chairman of the Board of Directors Jørgen Vig Knudstorp and the rest of the Board of Directors.” Thomas Kirk Kristiansen says: “I feel very privileged because I have had the opportunity to work closely with my father in LEGO A/S’ Board of Directors for more than ten years, and because we have had – and still have – time to prepare for the future together.” “Active and engaged ownership of LEGO A/S and the LEGO® brand is very important for our family, because we believe that the LEGO® Idea is more relevant now than ever before, and because we have an obligation to make a positive difference for children all over the world, via Learning-through-Play. I am extremely pleased with and proud of the trust my father is showing me and my sisters in terms of continuing

Ma cosa mi piace ...

Grazie @Canio, questa è una delle sezioni che ancora devo portare avanti. Visto però che già in tre me l'avete fatto notare provvederò subito a completarla visto che a quanto pare la usate in molti!

E' solo uno degli infiniti passaggi di responsabilità da Kjeld a Thomas... Ma Kjeld non va da nessuna parte e continua a essere il boss assoluto, in quanto proprietario di maggioranza della KIRKBI (che è proprietaria di LEGO e tutto il resto) (Gli altri proprietari sono i tre figli, per questo si tratta di un'azienda familiare.)

Jack Kirby and stan Lee Tribute

Vi presento la mia Moc a tema Leonardo da Vinci, pesentata per la prima volta al BiFF 2018 di Firenze, un tema a me particolarmente caro, in quanto io vivo proprio a Vinci, città natale di Leonardo e un omaggio al il mio famoso concittadino nell'anno in cui si celebra il 500entenario dalla morte. L'dea era quella di ricostruire un laboratorio di Leonardo, e lo spunto è preso da un quadro in cui si raffigurava l'arrivo di Leonardo a Milano e venivano mostrate alcune sue opere (macchine, quadri e studi sul volo e sull'anatomia) come se fosse un vero e proprio curriculum. Ho voluto anche inserire il momento in cui veniva dipinta la Monna Lisa, con tanto di modella.... Al Piano interrato ho inserito un laboratorio di anatomia ed uno di falegnameria.
