A restructure of Carnival Corporation in the United Kingdom will seen the company’s President Sture Myrmell (pictured) depart after “30 years of dedicated service”.
The change will see Paul Ludlow take on a consolidated leadership role for the Carnival UK business which includes P&O Cruises and Cunard Line globally.
Recently appointed Cunard President, Katie McAlister (CW 05 May), who joins the company in Aug, will report to Ludlow, who will assume all commercial and operational responsibility for both of the brands.
Carnival Corporation Chief Executive Officer Josh Weinstein said Ludlow is a 21-year-veteran of the company “with far-reaching experience across every commercial department and multiple brands in our portfolio of world-class cruise lines”.
“That deep expertise, coupled with Paul’s proven leadership and track record of outstanding results, make him the clear choice to support our entire UK organisation and to drive our return to strong profitability.”
The highly respected Myrmell is well known to the local market having spent 14 years, almost half of his Carnival Corporation career, in various Sydney-based roles, culminating as Carnival President Australia for five years from 2017, until he relocated to lead the UK organisation (CW 29 Sep 2021).
Weinstein paid tribute to Myrmell’s decades of service, saying “from his start in our company as an officer aboard Cunard, to becoming President, P&O Cruises – Australia, to coming full circle and ultimately leading Carnival UK including the venerable Cunard brand, Sture’s dedication and contributions to our company have been significant”.
