Dorthe Bendtsen is to step in as the interim CEO of KPI OceanConnect, effective December 1. It follows the appointment of former CEO Anders Grønborg to the role of Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) at parent company Bunker Holding.
The bunker firm notes that over her 16-year tenure, Bendtsen has established herself as a cornerstone of KPI OceanConnect's development and been an integral part of its executive management team.
Bendtsen, who has been serving as Chief Operating Officer (COO), is said to have been instrumental in shaping the company's execution of strategy, M&A activities and enhancing operational efficiency, whilst also focussing on strengthening partnerships with key stakeholders.
As COO, Bendtsen steered the company towards implementing robust governance structures while advancing its sustainability initiatives and environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals. Notably, she has prioritized diversity, equity and inclusivity, guiding the organization towards a more inclusive culture centered on competence and collaboration.
Bendtsen holds an MA in Management and a BA in International Relations and Economics. Additionally, she is a Chartered Governance Professional.
KPI OceanConnect is one of the largest bunker trading companies globally, with nearly 150 dedicated employees operating from 15 offices around the world, delivering around 12 million tonnes of marine fuel per year.
