Eimskip: changes in executive management
Iceland-based transport company Eimskip has appointed Böðvar Örn Kristinsson as interim executive vice president of its domestic operations. Guðmundur Nikulásson who has held the position since 2009, will be stepping aside due to health reasons.
At the same time, Eimskip's domestic Iceland terminal operations, which have been part of the Iceland domestic operations division, will now move to the operations division led by COO Hilmar Pétur Valgarðsson.
Kristinsson has worked for Eimskip for 17 years, most recently as senior manager of Iceland land transport division. He holds a B.S. degree in business from Bifrost University and a M.Sc. in transportation economics and logistics from Erasmus University in Rotterdam. He is married to Þórdís Ómarsdóttir and they have three children. (cj)
