TOTE Group Announces Changes to Company Leadership
TOTE Maritime Alaska, whose cargo ships MV Midnight Sun and MV North Star make regular rounds from Tacoma to Anchorage, has a new President. Alex Hofeling is being promoted from the position of vice president and general manager as part of other leadership changes.
The president of the company’s Caribbean counterpart, TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico, is becoming Chief Operating Officer for the parent company of both, TOTE Group. Replacing Mike Noone as TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico’s president is Kevin D. Kendrick, who served as chief commercial officer for TOTE Group since 2012.
Noone’s COO position is new for TOTE Group, according to president & CEO Tim Nolan. “Mike’s proven track record as an executive and his thirty years’ experience in shipping and logistics make him a significant asset as we continually look for ways to grow our organization and to drive value for our customers,” Nolan says.
