As part of its effort to achieve a more integrated company, A.P. Moller – Maersk has appointed Vincent Clerc as chief executive officer (CEO) of Ocean and Logistics and Henriette Hallberg Thygesen as CEO of Towage, Manufacturing & Others.
The company, which presently stands as an integrated firm that is delivering end-to-end logistics solutions for customer’s global supply chains, has in the past years transformed from a diversified conglomerate.
It has separated the energy businesses, harvesting synergies between terminals, ocean and from the acquisition of Hamburg Sud, and building competitive advantage from technology through digital solutions to optimise operations and create more value for customers.
“A year ago, we integrated our customer facing roles across the company. We are now ready to accelerate the execution of our strategy through increased commercial and operational integration,” says Søren Skou, CEO of A.P. Moller – Maersk.
According to him, the new leadership structure will increase the pace. “We have a simple and agile foundation for profitable growth and the new executive board is united in the goal of integrating our value proposition and maximising the value creation across the business.”
Effective immediately, he said, Vincent Clerc has been appointed as CEO of Ocean and Logistics, uniting the teams in operations focused on ocean delivery with the commercial team to ensure a better offering of integrated services to our more than 70,000 customers and to facilitate end-to-end process thinking.
“Also, Henriette Hallberg Thygesen was appointed as member of the executive board in a new role as CEO of Towage, Manufacturing & Others where she will be responsible for all independent businesses ensuring focus on their performance as well as fleet management and other enabling functions with focus on driving additional synergies,” he stated.
Jim Hagemann Snabe, chairman, Board of Directors of A.P. Moller – Maersk said “We have successfully completed the first phase of our transformation. With the new structure and Henriette Hallberg Thygesen joining our executive board, Søren Skou and his team are ready to execute on the next steps in the transformation, ensuring full focus on customer value, strengthening our end-to-end delivery capabilities and creating profitable growth.”
Here’s new composition of the executive board of A.P. Moller – Maersk:
Søren Skou, CEO of A.P. Moller – Maersk; Carolina Dybeck Happe, chief finance officer; Henriette Hallberg Thygesen, executive vice president of A.P.
