Port operator ABP has appointed Bianca Simeone as Head of Group Financial Planning and Analysis.
During her time at ABP, Ms Simeone has supported the senior management team to set and deliver the Group’s business plan by enabling the right insights to drive business and financial decisions. She has also played a key role in developing financial reporting, planning and analysis across the business.
Mani Atwal, ABP Deputy CFO, said: “I would like to congratulate Bianca on her promotion and look forward to continuing to work together in this strategically important role for ABP, which forms a key part of the finance function’s leadership team and provides expertise to our Group planning, reporting and business partnering to other functions.”
“Especially with the launch of our twin missions of Keeping Britain Trading and Enabling the Energy Transition, we need a laser-sharp focus on our goals to stay on track and navigate external challenges in an effective manner in order to achieve sustained business growth.”
Bianca said: “I feel privileged to have witnessed how, over the past decade, ABP has transformed from a traditional port operator, focused on Keeping Britain Trading, into a business that is committed to Enabling the Energy Transition. I’m excited to see what comes next.
“There are many talented colleagues I have worked with in my time at ABP and I look forward to continuing to lead financial planning and analysis so that we can build a future we can all be proud of.”
