A.P. Moller – Maersk has appointed Vincent Clerc as CEO of Ocean and Logistics and Henriette Hallberg Thygesen as CEO of Towage, Manufacturing & Others as part of an effort towards a more integrated company strategy.
Both Clerc and Thygesen are Maersk veterans with the former having worked for the liner since 1997 and the latter 1994.

“With the new leadership structure announced today, I am confident that we 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 maximizing the value creation across the business.”
