A.P. Møller – Mærsk has hired Patrick Jany as the new chief financial officer and member of the executive board.
Jany, who joins Maersk from Swiss chemicals firm Clariant, will assume the post at the beginning of May. Jany served as Clariant’s CFO and as a member of its executive board. He held several leadership positions in finance, general management and corporate development in Germany, Mexico, Singapore, Indonesia and Spain.
Maersk CEO Søren Skou said Jany “will play a key role in the acceleration of our strategic transformation. Patrick brings solid financial experience and a proven record of managing cost discipline as well as profitable growth through M&A and innovation.”
Jany replaces Carolina Dybeck Happe, who quit the Danish shipping giant in November. Maersk announced her appointment as CFO in June 2018.
