ANL is to have its third managing director in less than three months after Esra Bora, appointed to replace Shane Walden last month, returned to Türkiye for personal reasons.
Ms Bora officially took up the post of managing director of ANL Container Line Pty Ltd and general manager of CMA CGM Oceania agencies, based in Melbourne, on 1 June after transferring from her previous post as general manager, CMA CGM China.
One of her first assignments was to attend the announcement in Townsville of the first of the Federal Government strategic fleet vessels, the 1,740 TEU geared containership ANL Kokoda, on 29 May.
DCN understands that Ms Bora has now taken 12 months’ leave of absence, although ANL has not confirmed this.
From last Monday [22 June] Bo Wegener, CMA CGM Group’s senior vice president APAC, has assumed the local positions on an interim basis before the 1 August arrival of Neusa Marcelino, currently the general manager of CMA CGM Brazil and managing director of the East Coast South America Cluster.
Since joining the Group more than eleven years ago Ms Marcelino has successfully held leadership positions across multiple geographies including Mozambique, South Africa and South America. Her replacement in Brazil will be announced in due course.
ANL has formally confirmed the management changes.
