The Port of Oakland named ex-Maersk shipping line veteran Beth Frisher its Manager of Maritime Business Development. She’ll be responsible for Sales, Marketing, Business Development and Customer Relations at the nation’s fifth-busiest seaport.
“Thanks to her industry background, Beth understands the needs of shippers, ocean carriers and marine terminal operators,” said the Port’s Maritime Director, John Driscoll. “She’s the ideal person to help us improve customer service and grow our business.” Frisher joins the Port from Danish-based A.P. Moller-Maersk Group, parent of Maersk Line, the world’s largest container shipping line. She spent 18 years with the company in the U.S. and Copenhagen. Most recently she had been Director of Marketing and Communications for Maersk Line, Limited, the company’s U.S. government business subsidiary.
