Hapag-Lloyd appoints new executive in Asia


Hans Schäfer, current managing director global sales in the group’s Hamburg headquarters, will assume the position of senior managing director of Region Asia, as of 1 July 2020.

 

Schäfer will replace Lars Christiansen, who will resign from his position effective 30 June 2020. Christiansen will return to his home country Denmark for family reasons. “We are very pleased that we have been able to fill this key position with an outstanding logistics professional.

 

With Schäfer's experience and commercial understanding, we will not only have a strong foundation for managing one of our key markets in these challenging times but also for additional growth in Asia in the future,” said Rolf Habben Jansen, CEO of Hapag-Lloyd. Schäfer will relocate to Singapore together with his family. (mw)
