Maersk Broker is seeking expansion of its consultancy and advisory business after recruiting two well-known industry figures with backgrounds in shipowning and finance.
Former Torm executive Jesper Bo Hansen has been hired to lead a division that has been rebranded Maersk Broker Advisory Services. He is joined by Peter Willems, previously of Oldendorff and most recently with HSBC.
Anders Hald, chief executive of Maersk Broker, says the division is an enlarged version of what was previously marketed under the Maersk Broker Financial Services umbrella.
