Jesper Bo Hansen is staying in the AP Moller Holding family.
The Danish industry veteran said on Friday that he is taking a role with Maersk Tankers in partnership sales and service.
“I am happy to share that I have joined Maersk Tankers and will be part of the mission to grow the partnership platform and thereby create better opportunities for shipowners to benefit from scale both in driving commercial results but also in the fierce field of competitiveness around the decarbonisation of the world fleet,” he said in a LinkedIn post.
Hansen had spent the last nine months at AP Moller Holding-backed ZeroNorth, a voyage optimisation platform with investment from Cargill and PSG Equity, serving as the firm’s chief revenue officer.
He said Maersk Tankers is at the forefront of digitalisation and decarbonisation initiatives and driving much-needed transparency — which he identified as a key for reducing CO2 emissions — for its customers.
“I am excited to be part of the team and looking forward to (re)engage with many of you about how to benefit best possible from a consolidated commercial platform in the short, medium and long term,” Hansen said.
Prior to moving to ZeroNorth, Hansen spent five years as managing director at Maersk Broker Advisory Services where he set up a consultancy on climate affairs for shipping companies, investors, and lenders.
He was also a board member at Team Tankers and worked at Heidmar and Torm.
