Robert Uggla on family's comeback in Maersk top: "It's advantageous to have a visible owner"

It’s part of the Mærsk family’s core values to be active owners, and it’s a strength that the majority owner becomes more visible, state Ane and Robert Uggla.
"Of course it's a big task, and there is more media exposure that I've had previously, so there are a number of inconveniences from my personal perspective. But the positive outweighs the negative," says Robert Mærsk Uggla in relation to him taking over as Maersk chair from Jim Hagemann Snabe. | Photo: PR/A.P. Møller-Maersk
