AP Møller-Maersk has promoted Scott Elliott (above) to the position of regional president for Asia Pacific, after serving in the role on an interim basis since January this year.

Mr Elliott joined Maersk in 2020 as regional chief financial officer for the region, after spending just over two years as CFO for global forwarding at the Toll Group headquarters in Singapore.

Prior to that, he spent over 15 years with Ceva Logistics, holding a variety of senior management roles in the US, China, the Netherlands and Australia, “giving him a rare combination of operational, commercial and financial leadership across the world’s most dynamic trade lanes”, said Maersk.

“Asia Pacific is the world’s largest regional economy, key to global trade and central to Maersk’s growth ambitions,” Mr Elliott said.

“It’s an honour to work with our exceptional team, customers, and partners across the region. We have built strong momentum together, and I look forward to deepening those relationships and supporting our customers’ growth,” he added.

Meanwhile, Maersk advised that it had begun “the process of appointing a permanent regional head of finance for Asia Pacific”.
