Maersk has appointed Christopher Cook as its new Managing Director for India, Bangladesh & Sri Lanka effective October 1, 2024. Cook brings a wealth of experience, having held several key leadership roles at Maersk, the most recent being his current role as the Managing Director of UAE, Oman and Qatar. In his new role, Cook will lead Maersk's commercial organisation in the geography.

Richard Morgan, Managing Director, Indian Subcontinent, Middle East, and Africa, said in a statement, "I am delighted to welcome Christopher to his new role. He will take charge of one of our most important markets, and I am confident Christopher's wealth of experience will contribute to our growth in the geography."

According to a Maersk press release, Cook has driven substantial growth by successfully diversifying the business while achieving high customer satisfaction levels. He transformed the product profile by leveraging the ocean portfolio in the UAE and successfully expanding into critical areas such as Air Freight and Contract Logistics. Cook strongly advocates for decarbonisation, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I), and Corporate Social Responsibility.
