Singapore-headquartered BW Group announced Monday that CEO Carsten Mortensen has resigned after three years on the job.
The company said Mortensen was resigning for personal reasons. The resignation is effectively immediately.
BW Group Chairman, Andreas Sohmen-Pao, commented: “Carsten and I have had a great partnership working closely together to grow the company, but the non-stop travel and living on two continents eventually reached a natural limit for him. We are very grateful to Carsten for his contributions and wish him all the best for the future.”
