Oil and shipping group Monjasa Holding A/S on Wednesday (12 January) said it has prompted Rasmus Ravnholdt Knudsen to Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO) effective 1 January 2022.
Rasmus steps up from an internal role as Group Vice President and will play a further important role in ensuring continuous robust corporate governance across the Group’s main business areas within oil and shipping, offshore logistics and IT consultancy.
Since his accession to the top management in 2019, Rasmus has contributed significantly to the strategic and financial development of Monjasa becoming a global top 10 marine fuels supplier.

Rasmus Ravnholdt Knudsen will be overseeing key corporate functions such as financial reporting, treasury, trade finance and business intelligence. In addition, considering Rasmus’ background in law, he will continue to hold responsibility of Monjasa’s legal department.
