She has really excelled in her role as COO of USTC and has proven over a number of years that she has both the competences and the experience to grow USTC while safeguarding the solid foundation that USTC is built on,\u201d says Torben \u00d8stergaard-Nielsen.<\/p>\n Mia \u00d8stergaard Rechnitzer was appointed Head of Corporate Governance in September 2021 as a long-planned next step in the development of the family business. Mia will subsequently move into a role as Chief Governance officer stepping into USTC Executive Management. She will focus on developing and elevating ESG initiatives for USTC and its entities.<\/p>\n Since early 2020, Nina \u00d8stergaard Borris has held the position of COO at USTC and has for the past years focused efforts on implementing synergies by bringing the USTC business units closer together. As a result of an ambitious growth strategy and multiple acquisitions delivered by Nina \u00d8stergaard Borris,<\/p>\n USTC and its subsidiaries have grown significantly in both people and numbers over the last years. As newly appointed CEO, Nina \u00d8stergaard Borris will continue to evolve USTC while ensuring a strong footprint in the group and across all group entities in line with the owner family\u2019s long-term values and ambitions.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is with great pride but also humility that I will take over from my father. I am very much aware that I have a heavy legacy to lift and the responsibility this entails, and I am grateful for the opportunity and trust being passed onto me. My vision for the company is clear and strong, and I am thankful to have the support of my father, my sister, and the Board of Directors. I am especially excited to continue growing and strengthening the group and to work closely with my sister Mia in driving forward the ESG agenda for USTC,\u201d says Nina \u00d8stergaard Borris.<\/p>\n USTC Executive Management now consists of Nina \u00d8stergaard Borris as Group CEO, Mia \u00d8stergaard Rechnitzer as Group CGO, and Jakob Schultz Nielsen as Group CFO. Executive Management will report directly to working Chairman of the Board of Directors, Torben \u00d8stergaard-Nielsen.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n maritime professional<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Nina \u00d8stergaard Borris, co-owner and current COO of United Shipping and Trading Company (USTC), takes on new responsibilities in the family-owned business as CEO, succeeding her father Torben \u00d8stergaard-Nielsen who will take over as Chairman of the Board of Directors for USTC.
