Ane Mærsk Mc-Kinney Uggla is leaving the Board after serving there since 1991. As Vice Chairman since 2003 and she is also a Chairman of the Board of Directors of A.P. Moller Holding, which initiated the transformation in 2016.
“The transformation of A.P. Moller - Maersk into an integrated container logistics company is well underway as a result of the efforts of the Board of Directors, the management led by Søren Skou, and the many dedicated employees. After three decades on the Board, it is time for me to pass on the responsibility to Robert, who with his 7 years on the Board of Directors has been a driving force in the development of A.P. Moller - Maersk. I would like to thank Jim for his vital role in the transformation, which he has executed with persistence and loyalty to the company's history, name and long-term interests. Jim is handing over a strong company and a solid foundation for further development, and I am pleased that we will continue to benefit from Jim's knowledge and insight,” Ane Mærsk Mc-Kinney Uggla.
New Chairman Robert Mærsk Uggla has been the CEO of A.P. Miller Holding since 2016, where he is leading the A.P. Moller Group’s renewal and investments. New Vice Chairman Marc Engel has served on A.P. Moller – Maersk’s Board of Directors since 2019 and sits on the Board’s Transformation & Innovation Committee. Marc Engel is an outgoing Chief Supply Chain Officer of Unilever and has extensive executive experience in global operations and supply chains, logistics, procurement, and sustainability.
“It has been a privilege to be part of the reinvention of this unique company. The focus on the core business and the development of new capabilities within logistics, digitalization, and sustainability has been key to transforming the company. Robert has been involved all the way and during his time on the board has played a central role in the restructuring and transformation. The timing of a generational change is therefore well chosen. I know that Robert with dedication will build on the momentum that is now established and I look forward to contributing to the company's continued development in the role of advisor to Robert and the rest of the board,” said former Chairman of the Board Jim Hagemann Snabe.
