Clarksons Appoints BP Exec as New CFO, Replacing Woyda
Clarksons, the world’s leading provider of integrated shipping services, has announced the appointment of a new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). The individual, whose name was not immediately released, joins the company from BP, where they held a senior role in shipping finance. They are succeeding Jeff Woyda, who is departing the company.
The transition is expected to be seamless, though the specific timing of Woyda's departure and the new CFO's start date were not detailed in the announcement.
