Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCL) has appointed Mark Kempa as its chief financial officer after he spent two decades in various accounting positions with the company.
Kempa most recently served as the Frank Del Rio-led cruise major's interim chief financial officer for six months, following the resignation of Wendy Beck to pursue other opportunities.
Kempa's previous roles with NCL include senior vice president of finance since November 2014 and vice president of corporate and capital planning from September 2008, according to a regulatory filing.
The company said he was "an instrumental figure" in its 2013 initial public offering and represented its financial interests during the 2003-2006 Germany newbuild programme as director of newbuild cost and control.
Three-year contract
Kempa has been signed to a three-year contract from 31 August through 2021 that pays a base annual salary of $700,000, subject to annual review and increase from 31 March.
He will also be eligible for an annual bonus and equity awards through the company's performance incentive plan.
He will also receive a $1,200 monthly car allowance and four week of vacation per year.
