Svitzer names new global CCO

Mattias Hellstrom will take up the new role with effect from 1 October, replacing Videlina Georgieva who has recently been appointed managing director of Svitzer Australia.

“Building on the foundation laid by my predecessor, I will do my utmost to ensure that we continue to deliver a world-class service,” said Hellstrom.

“I am excited to be able to work with colleagues from around the world to continue developing our ability to listen deeply to our customers, and use the knowledge gained to meet their current and future marine services needs.”

Hellstrom moves to Svitzer’s global business after three years as chief commercial officer of Svitzer Europe, prior to which he served as managing director of Svitzer Scandinavia for nearly seven years. He has also held management roles at Mediterranean Shipping Company and A.P. Moller – Maersk.

Kasper Nilaus, Svitzer’s chief executive said Hellstrom had a deep knowledge of the company’s business and customers.

“Mattias’s sincere passion for our customers and focus on premium service delivery will be critical to ensuring our ongoing growth and strength in the market,” he said. “I look very much forward to working more closely with Mattias and seeing him thrive in his new role.”
