John Michael Radziwill (pictured right) is shuffling the board at Monaco’s C Transport Maritime, remaining as chairman with key lieutenant Carlos Pena (pictured left) taking over as CEO of the dry bulk concern.
CTM, which turned 20 last October, is best known for its commercial management while Radziwill and his team have also been shipowners for much of the past decade. CTM has pools focused on supramaxes, panamaxes, and capesizes.
Pena, a Chilean national, has been with CTM since it was founded, having previously worked for CSAV back on home soil before relocating to Monaco where he worked his way up from chartering manager to chief commercial officer (CCO) prior to this week’s CEO announcement.
Speaking with Splash today, Radziwill said: “Carlos deserves the position for what he has brought to and achieved at CTM and therefore he is more than capable to take the leading role in managing the company which is why he has been put in this position.”
Radziwill said he would be focusing more on the strategy and direction of the company as well as his growing family investments related to the shipping industry and beyond.
Alessandro Canzian, who has been with the company since its inception, has taken over the role of CCO.
CTM’s executive committee will now consist of Canzian, chief of operations Orietta Siri, and chief of finance, Luigi Pulcini.
