Maître d’

Head of Partnerships & Relations

Jonas Nybro

Jonas is our maître d’ and serves smiles, solutions and good deals with the same elegance as wine by the glass, always with an eye for detail and the guest at the centre.

In addition to his role as maître d’, Jonas is Denmark’s most experienced and sought-after quizmaster. He has an incredible knowledge of almost everything and never meets a conversation he cannot join, whether it is about wine, sport or world history.

He is most often found in central Copenhagen, where a good glass of wine and a clever conversation are never far away.

Fun factJonas holds a degree in political science, loves a good political debate and still holds the title of Danish champion in Grand Theft Auto 2.
