Maersk CEO Vincent Clerc: “As we enter a year with a challenging macro-outlook and new types of uncertainties for our customers, we are determined to speed up our business transformation.”
Following the appointment of Vincent Clerc as CEO, which grew to become efficient January 1, A.P. Moller – Maersk (Maersk) has introduced a brand new organizational construction and a brand new govt management staff. The modifications are efficient February 1.
“The business has executed well during the past years, and we have a highly engaged and competent global team ready for the next miles of our transformation,” stated Clerc. “We face a challenging global economic outlook, a softening market and at the same time our customers are looking to radically improve their supply chains to make them more resilient and agile. This creates urgent needs as well as unique opportunities. To navigate through and beyond this environment, we will intensify our focus on cost discipline and service quality while increasing customer centricity, and decision power in the front line. Hence, I am very pleased to announce our new Executive Leadership Team. This team includes leaders with a long tenure within Maersk, and leaders with experience from outside the company, bringing increased diversity of thought, age, gender and nationality. Together with the team, I look very much forward to continuing our strong momentum into the next phase of our strategy and I am excited to get to work in the new structure and together with all Maersk colleagues accelerate our business transformation.”
The new organizational construction is formed round 15 roles and areas of duty. The firm says: “The executive leadership team will jointly own the execution of Maersk’s Integrator strategy and is composed to create strong alignment across the enterprise as well as clear ownership and accountability for key aspects of the next phase of Maersk’s strategy.”
