GPH appoints three new board members
Global Ports Holding appointed three new professionals to its board of directors: Andy Stuart, Scott Auty and Florian Hubel.
Global Ports Holding appointed three experienced professionals to its board of directors following its delisting from the London Stock Exchange and re-registration as a private company.
Mehmet Kutman, chairman & CEO of Global Ports Holding, said, ‘We are excited to welcome Andy, Scott and Florian to the Global Ports Holding board as non-executive directors. Their collective expertise in the cruise, transport, and infrastructure sectors will be invaluable as we continue to drive innovation and sustainable growth globally.’
