The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA), the unified and recognized voice of seaports in the Americas, announced today that it has unanimously chosen Christopher J. Connor as the association’s next president and chief executive officer.
Connor, the former Global CEO of Wallenius Wilhemsen Logistics (WWL) will begin transitioning into his new role on September 23, eventually succeeding Kurt Nagle, AAPA’s president and CEO since 1995.
Nagle who announced last October his intention to retire in the fall of 2019, will step down from his post on Oct. 16, the final day of AAPA’s 2019 Annual Convention and Expo in Norfolk, VA.
