A.P. Moller – Maersk has announced a new corporate structure with the appointment of 15 executive leaders responsible for continuing to execute the Danish shipping giant’s integrated container logistics strategy.
Effective from February 1, 2023, the changes follow the appointment of Vincent Clerc as CEO of Maersk on January 1, replacing Soren Skou who took over as CEO in 2016 and was responsible for overseeing Maersk’s transition
“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 transformations,” said Mr. Clerc.

Hence, I am very pleased to announce our new Executive Leadership Team.”
