General – Appointment
Fred. Olsen Windcarrier welcomes new CCO, Tanja Hedager, to the ranks!
Tanja brings a wealth of commercial experience that will be invaluable in helping Fred. Olsen Windcarrier to navigate the waters ahead.
Firstly, Tanja didn’t start out in the business world – she thought her career would be something very different. She studied sports at university and was a keen soccer player. She never had the idea that this would be her vocation. But at some point, she felt a stronger desire for broader challenges and therefore changed track and ended up completing a master’s degree in political science instead.
Her first job in the maritime sector was with Svitzer, where she had a full-time position in the Corporate Affairs and Business Development department.
After six years, she took on a more commercially oriented role in Maersk FPSOs (Floating, Production, Storage, and Offloading). The she moved to Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor (BWSC).
In 2019, Tanja returned to Maersk to head the Bids and Contracts team for Maersk Drilling. Two years later, she was promoted to lead the commercial team for the North Sea division, which was responsible for deploying ten jack-ups. When the company merged with Noble in October 2022, Tanja decided to make another change and was delighted when I found the right opportunity at Fred. Olsen Windcarrier.
