APL gets a new President in the Americas NOL Group appoints 21-year-veteran to manage container transport businessSingapore, 22 April 2010 – APL, one of the world’s leading container shipping lines, said today that Gene Seroka has been named its new President in the Americas. Seroka, a 21-year-veteran of the company, replaces John Bowe who is leaving in June. Until recently the Regional Vice President for the Middle East, Seroka will relocate to the company’s regional headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona. He’ll be responsible for all of the shipping, intermodal transportation and terminal activities of APL, the world’s fourth-largest carrier. APL is the principal business of container transportation and logistics company NOL Group. “We’re pleased today to give a new opportunity to an individual with experience in all phases of our business,” said APL President Eng Aik Meng. “Gene will bring energy and enthusiasm to this important position and help us take advantage of opportunities in the market.” Seroka, who joined the company in 1988, has a management background in both container shipping and logistics. He has worked in five countries for NOL. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Marketing and a master’s in Management, both from the University of New Orleans. In his new role, he’ll be the company’s top executive in one of its most important markets. Many of APL’s largest customers are based in the Americas. The company operates a number of marine terminals in the U.S. and is one of the largest users of intermodal rail transportation. In addition to managing those aspects of APL’s business in the Americas, Seroka will also be in charge of sales and business development. “The Americas are critical to our success,” said NOL Group CEO Ron Widdows. “Gene’s job is not just to maintain our presence there, but to build on our brand and grow our business.” Media Enquiries: Paul Barrett Or Mike Zampa
