Christopher Cook joined Maersk in the UK in 2002. His career has included postings across Africa, Asia and Europe and for the last 3 years in Dubai, UAE.
Cook has not only undertaken the commercial roles, but has focused a lot on developing strategies, designing market-oriented solutions and implementing customer-centric approach throughout his career.
He says, “At Maersk, we believe in a connected and integrated world. For us global trade is beyond transporting food, clothes, medicines and the goods we rely on. It is also an exchange of culture, innovation and trust. Our ultimate goal is to improve life for all and raise global prosperity while ensuring sustainability for our future generations.”
Cook added: “We have come a long way in transforming Maersk from being a shipping line to an integrated logistics company by committing to solutions that connect and simplify our customers’ supply chains. We are designing and implementing the logistics of tomorrow. But ultimately, what really excites me every morning is the fact that I am able to go to work and do things that brings our purpose, to improve life for all by integrating the world, to life.”
