Fjord Line picks CEO
Fjord Line’s board of directors has appointed Brian Thorsted Hansen as the company’s new CEO. Thorsted Hansen has extensive business experience and for the past 14 years has worked at the Danish shipping and logistics company DFDS, formerly serving as vice president and head of the business unit group passenger.
Hansen succeeds Arne Roland, who had worked as interim CEO of the Norwegian company since October and who will continue to be available for both the company and the new CEO for a period after his departure, securing a smooth transition.
Peter Frølich, chairman of the board: "I would like to offer our greatest appreciation for Arne Roland’s work while leading Fjord Line through this demanding period. We cannot fully put Roland's work and the rest of the organisation’s tireless efforts into words." (amh)
