Blue Water Shipping has appointed Anna Ude as VP, Projects Europe, strengthening the development of its project logistics activities across the region.
Based in Hamburg, Ude will lead Blue Water’s European Projects organisation, with responsibility for commercial performance, operational development and strategic growth.
She brings more than 20 years of experience in project logistics, sales and business development. Most recently, she served as Regional Head of Sales at deugro, overseeing sales management across Central Europe. Her previous experience includes roles at DB Schenker and Hansa Meyer Global.
“Europe has always been an important market for project logistics, with significant opportunities both domestically and across trade lanes,” said Andy Tite, SVP Projects at Blue Water Shipping. “Anna brings exactly that combination” of leadership, commercial understanding and operational experience.
Ude will focus on strengthening customer relationships and connecting Blue Water’s local project logistics expertise and capabilities across Europe.
“The greatest opportunities come from being close to the market and our clients, understanding their needs and anticipating how they are changing,” said Ude. “Blue Water has strong local expertise across Europe, and by sharing that knowledge and working together as one team, I believe we can develop solutions that address those needs and create even more value for our clients.”
