Siemens named managing director at Briese Chartering

Siemens, who has held various positions at BBC Chartering for more than 25 years, succeeds Ilona Lazareva, who has decided to step down from the role. She will remain with Briese Chartering as a chartering broker.

Christoph Deters, who most recently held the position of team leader in the operations department at BBC Chartering, will step in to Siemens’ present role of chief operations officer.

“With his profound knowledge in multipurpose shipping, Günther Siemens will be instrumental in further developing our business in the shipping segment Briese Chartering operates in. The Briese family extends their sincerest gratitude to Ilona Lazareva for her commitment and excellent leadership through the past years,” said Wilke Briese, managing partner of Briese Chartering.
