People Moves at Maersk

By Shipping Australia

Brazilian national Roberta Duarte will join Maersk as Chief People Officer from 01 November, succeeding Susan Elvira. Ms Duarte was previously with Maersk from 2014 to 2024.

In her previous time with Maersk she held senior people-leadership roles across the regions Asia Pacific and Latin America as well as Ocean & Logistics before joining Werfen, where she currently holds the position of Chief People Officer. Prior to her first tenure with Maersk, Roberta Duarte worked with Citibank and held various roles across Latin and North America.

“I am truly honoured to return to Maersk. It is a company that feels like home to me – both because its values resonate strongly with my own and because of the many relationships I built during my years with Maersk,” Ms Duarte said.

Bruno Plantaz will join Maersk on 1 November and succeed Narin Phol as Global Head of Solutions. Mr Plantaz brings extensive international experience in freight forwarding and contract logistics, including ten years with Kuehne+Nagel and more than a decade with CEVA Logistics, where he held senior leadership roles across Asia Pacific, Southern Europe, India, the Middle East and Africa.
