Guenther Siemens, who has been with BBC Chartering in varying positions for more than 25 years, takes over the role of the Managing Director of Briese Chartering as from 1 January 2025. He succeeds Ilona Lazareva, who is leaving the position at her own request but will remain with Briese Chartering as a chartering broker.
The position of Guenther Siemens as Chief Operations Officer at BBC Chartering will be taken over by Christoph Deters, who recently had the position of a Team Lead in the Operations Department.
“On behalf of the entire Group, I am extremely happy to welcome Guenther Siemens to the role of Managing Director of Briese Chartering,” said Wilke Briese, Managing Partner of Briese Chartering. “With his profound knowledge in multipurpose shipping, Guenther Siemens will be instrumental in further developing our business in the shipping segment Briese Chartering operates in. The Briese family extends their sincerest gratitude to Mrs. Ilona Lazareva for her commitment and excellent leadership through the past years.”
“Guenther had been with BBC from almost day one for over 25 years and he is surely part of the ‘BBC DNA’,” Ulrich Ulrichs, CEO of BBC Chartering commented on the change. “We will certainly miss his extensive knowledge, his experience, and his well-liked personality, but at the same time, we are very happy that he stays within Briese Group for a new challenge.”
