AP Moller-Maersk has confirmed Scott Elliott as the permanent regional president for Asia-Pacific, solidifying his leadership of the company's largest growth market after serving in an interim capacity since January. This appointment reflects management confidence in Elliott's ability to navigate the complex Asia-Pacific logistics landscape during a period of significant supply chain transformation and e-commerce expansion across the region.
Elliott brings substantial experience to the role, having joined Maersk in 2020 as regional CFO after nearly two years leading global forwarding finance at Toll Group in Singapore.

The permanence of this appointment signals organizational stability and continuity in regional strategy execution.
