From a shipping line to a terminal operator
APM Terminals has hired Peter Wikström as its new CFO. Wikström will join the global terminal operator on 1 January 2025 after having recently served as head of mergers & acquisitions at Maersk – a role he assumed in 2019.
Since 2023, Wikström has also worked as head of strategic brands (MCI, Maersk Training, Stillstrøm, Frey Commodities and the recently listed Svitzer), where he has been driving an active ownership model. He joined Maersk in 2016, after having been an investment banker with SEB and CICC for 15 years.
Keith Svendsen, CEO of APM Terminals: "With APM Terminals on an exciting trajectory – delivering critical infrastructure and high-performing operations globally – Wikström’s deep experience in M&A and financial acumen will be instrumental in propelling our next phase of success." (ah)
