As chair of the tax policy group at BusinessEurope, Sune Hein Bertelsen is a crucial voice for European businesses when it comes to EU tax policy and beyond. The tax policy group seeks to represent companies large and small from 35 European countries, including 27 EU member states.

Bertelsen is the head of tax law and international tax at the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI) in Copenhagen. He joined the DI in 2014 and became a member of BusinessEurope as part of his role. He previously worked as a tax attorney at Danish corporate law firm Gorrissen Federspiel.

At the same time, Bertelsen has been a member of the tax committee Business and Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC) to the OECD, as well as the tax commission of the International Chamber of Commerce.

Bertelsen may be one of the most well-connected experts in the tax world. He will go into 2023 representing businesses on tax policy at multiple levels. His work is far from over.
