Donya-Florence Amer joining the Executive Board

Shortly before the 175th birthday, Hapag-Lloyd writes history once again. Yesterday, Donya-Florence Amer became the first woman to join the company's Executive Board.

Donya, 49, started her professional career in 1999 at IBM, where she held various management positions. She has played leadership roles at Bosch since 2017, initially as Executive Vice President and as a member of the CIO Management Board. Since 2020, she has been the CEO of Bosch Climate Solutions, of which she was a co-founder.

"We are delighted that Donya is finally with us and wish her a good start. Donya is the perfect addition to the Executive Board," says Michael Behrendt, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Hapag-Lloyd AG.

With her extensive experience, she will now significantly drive our digitalisation strategy and, with her position as CIO, will be the fifth member of the Executive Board - alongside CEO Rolf Habben Jansen, CFO Mark Frese, COO Dr Maximilian Rothkopf and CPO Joachim Schlotfeldt.
