Christos Tsakonas, who has led DNB’s global shipping business since 2017, is leaving the bank, according to reports.
The new head of shipping will be Marius Eriksen, who currently serves as a director at the investment bank DNB Carnegie.
Global Head of Ocean industries, Jan Ole Huseby, wrote on LinkedIn:
“After many years of outstanding leadership, Christos Tsakonas has decided to leave DNB to pursue new opportunities. Christos has been instrumental in strengthening DNB’s position as one of the world’s leading shipping banks, and I am tremendously grateful for his contribution, partnership and friendship.
I am equally pleased to announce that Marius Eriksen will succeed Christos as our new Head of Shipping. With his deep industry knowledge, strong customer focus and broad experience across DNB, I am confident Marius will build on the strong platform Christos leaves behind and take our shipping franchise forward.
Thank you, Christos, for everything, and congratulations to Marius on an exciting new chapter“.
