Hamburg, 28 March 2018
Reorganisation of the Hapag-Lloyd Executive Board
- Reallocation of responsibilities throughout the Executive Board
- CEO Rolf Habben Jansen to take over sales areas
- Joachim Schlotfeldt to become new Executive Board member for HR and Global
Procurement, among other areas
- CCO Thorsten Haeser to step down
The Supervisory Board of Hapag-Lloyd AG approved a reallocation of the
Executive Board's responsibilities at its meeting today. CEO Rolf Habben
Jansen will now be responsible for global sales activities.
Joachim Schlotfeldt will become a new member of Hapag-Lloyd AG's Executive
Board as at 1 April 2018. In addition to other areas of responsibility, he
will take charge of Human Resources (currently the responsibility of the
CEO) as Labour Director, as well as Global Procurement. The latter is
currently the responsibility of the COO.
Joachim Schlotfeldt has been a member of the Executive Committee since 2007.
Its members comprise the Executive Board and the Company's top ten managers.
They meet four times year to discuss the most important issues and make
decisions. Schlotfeldt's most recent role was as Managing Director of the
key Regions Asia and Europe. Prior to that, he successfully worked in a
variety of other management positions for Hapag-Lloyd in Europe and Asia.
"In Joachim Schlotfeldt, we have obtained a very experienced manager with
many years of experience in the Company. He is the ideal fit for this
important role," said Michael Behrendt, Chairman of the Supervisory of
Hapag-Lloyd AG.
CCO Thorsten Haeser is leaving the Company as at 31 March 2018 on the most
amicable of terms. With great professionalism and personal dedication, he
managed and realigned the Executive Board's sales responsibilities.
Following the merger with container liner shipping company United Arab
Shipping Company (UASC), Haeser played a key part in the smooth integration
of UASC's business into Hapag-Lloyd AG. Haeser was also instrumental in
advancing the digitalisation of the Company. Overall, he made a significant
contribution to ensuring the future viability and competitiveness of
Hapag-Lloyd.
"Thorsten Haeser's departure represents that of a manager who has played a
significant part in the Company's success over the last three years.
Hapag-Lloyd is extremely grateful to him," emphasised Behrendt.
The changes to the areas of responsibilities within the Executive Board are
also due to the increased size of Hapag-Lloyd. Following the mergers with
the container activities of CSAV (2014) and UASC (2017), the transport
capacities and number of containers transported at Hapag-Lloyd have more
than doubled. Revenue rose by the around 50% in the same period, and the
number of employees increased by around 70%. The restructuring of the
Executive Board will make it easier to meet the challenges arising from this
rapid growth.
"The Supervisory Board firmly believes that the Executive Board's new
composition will ensure it remains in an excellent position to successfully
lead Hapag-Lloyd into the future," says Michael Behrendt.
