Transitioning from COO to CEO isn’t about more work or more decisions—it’s about owning the few outcomes that truly shape our company’s future. As COO, I was deeply involved in running APM Terminals but as CEO, it’s been the handful of high-stakes, high-ambiguity decisions that demand the greatest mental bandwidth. My CMi mentor has, with his rare combination of CEO experience, deep technical insight, and board experience, helped me reframe how I think and lead—balancing operational discipline with long-term strategic foresight. Our conversations, particularly around structural parallels between mining and port infrastructure, didn’t just offer perspective—they helped reshape APM Terminals’ strategic roadmap and priorities. His mentorship wasn’t abstract; it has changed how I think and work, and it directly contributed to accelerating our economic results.
