"Establishing the new entity, realising expected
synergies and creating a sustainable provider of
shipping and logistics services require a vigilant,
agile and visionary management," says Craig Jasienski,
CEO in WWL ASA, about the first announcement of the
new executive team.
"We are very pleased to have Rebekka join us once WWL
ASA is established. She has a strong financial and
investment banking background coupled with solid

have provided valuable insight to different industries
and our new company will combine ship ownership and
global operations in multiple shipping and land-based
entities. We believe Rebekka has the perfect
combination of experience and skills needed to drive
performance across the group and manage relations with
our investors."
