What would count as true or false
Test: did Henrik Poulsen remain in office as Ørsted CEO without interruption until 31 December 2020? True: records show he was still CEO on 31 December 2020, with his successor taking over on or about 1 January 2021. Mostly true: he stayed in office until 31 December 2020 but a minor detail differs, such as the exact handover date being reported as 1 January. Mostly false: he left the CEO role shortly before 31 December 2020, for example days or a few weeks early. False: he left the CEO role well before that date, for example on another announced earlier departure date, or he was replaced earlier.

E2 [PDF] Statutory report on corporate governance, cf. section 107 b ... - Orsted Ørsted A/S · 2021 Own record
“At the beginning of 2021, we had a successful and smooth CEO transition. We welcomed Mads Nipper as our new CEO, and he brought with him a deep commitment to the sustainability agenda”
Reasoning
E2, an independent report from September 2020, says Mads Nipper would take over as Ørsted CEO from 1 January 2021, which fits Poulsen serving through 31 December 2020. It also notes his earlier pledge to step down no later than 31 January 2021. Ørsted's later 2021 governance report (E3, not independent) describes a smooth CEO transition at the beginning of 2021 with Nipper as new CEO. No evidence shows an early departure, but neither source independently confirms Poulsen's exact last day after the fact, so the verdict is mostly true rather than true.
