Maersk Line has announced that it has appointed Stephen Schueler as its new chief commercial officer, a move that will come into effect on 27 May.
The shipping giant said that Schueler was joining the company from Microsoft, where he has held the position of head of global retail sales and marketing, and will replace current CFO Lucas Vos.
In his new position, Schueler will be responsible for more than 9,000 Maersk Line employees in 125 countries, which include the global country organisations and all global sales, customer service and communication-related tasks.
“We are tremendously excited to welcome Stephen to the Maersk Line team as chief commercial officer,” said Maersk Line CEO Søren Skou.
“Stephen has developed and led the global sales operations of two of the world’s largest and most prestigious companies with great results,' he explained. 'We are focused on improving the way we sell our services to customers in order to reach volume and profit targets and Stephen brings valuable insight that we hope to leverage.
'Combined with extensive international sales experience, he is exactly what we are looking for to further strengthen the Maersk Line sales force,” Skou added.
