Christine 'Stine' Bosse (born 21 December 1960) is a Danish businesswoman and politician. Bosse led the Moderates's list for the 2024 European election, and won election as a Member of the European Parliament; she is expected to be sworn-in in the upcoming Tenth European Parliament.[1]

Early life and education

Bosse gained a Masters of Law degree from the University of Copenhagen in 1987.

Career

Upon graduation, Bosse began working for TrygVesta, a Nordic insurance agency, rising up the ranks until she became an executive manager in 1999. In 2003 she was appointed CEO,[2] and in 2009 the Financial Times identified her as "the 22nd most influential businesswoman in the world".[3]

The United Nations appointed Bosse as an Advocate for the Millennium Development Goals in 2010,[3] and she left TrygVesta in 2011, becoming a professional board member and subject-matter expert. In 2015 she was appointed President of the European Movement in Denmark, taking over from Anne E. Jensen,[4] and separately became the new Chair of the Board of BankNordik.[5] She is also President of the Royal Danish Theatre, a Member of the Board of Allianz, a non-executive director of Aker,[6] and serves as an adjunct professor at the University of Copenhagen in the Department of Operations Management.[3]

She was elected to the European Parliament for the Moderates in the 2024 European Parliament election.[7][8]
