GasLog Partners has poached a former Goldman Sachs executive to fill its chief financial officer (CFO) role.
Alastair Maxwell replaces Simon Crowe, who revealed his intention to resign last summer but will remain in his position until early March "to ensure a smooth transition".
Maxwell was the global co-head for energy investment banking at Goldman Sachs from 2010 to August 2016.
Merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions and equity are his main areas of expertise.
Maxwell said: “I am delighted to be joining GasLog and GasLog Partners at such an exciting time in the LNG market and in the development of the group.
“I look forward to working with the GasLog team to build on the growth and shareholder value that they have delivered over the last several years.”
Maxwell’s appointment comes hot on the heels of the company’s best quarter ever.
GasLog Partners reported a fourth quarter net profit of $25.5m and increased its dividend by 3% to $0.49 per common unit.
Paul Wogan, chief executive of GasLog, said: “On behalf of the board, chairman Peter Livanos, and the management team, I am pleased to welcome Alastair to GasLog.
“His deep understanding of the energy sector and financial markets and his involvement in some of the largest transactions in the industry will make him a huge asset to the team.”
