Eggert Benedikt Gudmundsson Honorary Consul for Chile in Reykjavík

Eggert Benedikt Gudmundsson, CEO of HB Grandi, has been appointed Honorary Consul for Chile in Reykjavik, Iceland.  Eggert replaces Brynjolfur Bjarnason, CEO of Skipti, who has been Honorary Consul since 1994. 

Eggert considers the appointment an honor for HB Grandi and himself. 

"I have enjoyed an excellent relationship with this distant country and its people for the past couple of years and look forward to get to know them even better." 

Eggert studied in Spain for two years and consequently speaks some Spanish, although "it's convenient to switch to other languages when the subjects get complex".
