Ole Lund Madsen has been unveiled as chief financial officer with responsibility for finance and administration at the Port of Ronne, Denmark.
The 61-year-old brings with him a heavy maritime management experience when he, with over three decades of experience from Maersk Line, including as a seconded chief financial officer at several country offices, takes up the position in the new year.
For the past ten years, he has held the position of chief financial officer in a Danish start-up company and a production company on Zealand.
“Through the expansions of recent years, the Port of Ronne has strengthened its commercial market position,” said chairman of the board of the Port of Ronne Jess Persson.
“This new position requires an increased focus on financial management and a development of our way of running a commercial port.
“With Ole Lund Madsen as the new chief financial officer, we have found the right person to take on this task.
“Ole comes with solid management experience and a strong maritime background, which will be a benefit both for the port’s organization and its interaction with the Bornholm business community.”
Madsen (pictured) added: “I have always had a close connection to the port environment in Esbjerg, and with over 30 years in Maersk Line, the maritime has taken up a very large part of my working life.
“I look forward to returning to the maritime industry and contributing to the professionalization and development of the Port of Ronne.
“I hope to be able to help develop the port’s many business areas and further develop the port to not only be a busy commercial port, but also a significant player on Bornholm and a driving force for business development in Eastern Denmark.
“I have a great deal of respect for the enormous work that has already been done by the current management and chief financial officer, and I look forward to getting to know the organization and the employees.
“Finally, I am also looking forward to a close dialogue with the local companies and stakeholders.”
The current chief financial officer Max Hansen will step down from his position at the end of the year, when he will retire.
