Lloyd's Register has appointed John Rowley as its new president for Lloyd's Register Asia. He succeeds John Stansfeld who has returned to London to drive the implementation of the organisation's new group strategy.
Rowley joins the Group after a 14-year career with Ecolab Inc, a Fortune 500 multi-national corporation operating in the industrial chemicals sector, where he most recently held the position of vice president and managing director for Asia.
Rowley had joined Ecolab Inc in 1995, following short careers in the British Army and water management. He has a degree in biotechnology from the University of Reading in the UK.
In taking the helm at Lloyd's Register Asia, Rowley inherits a part of the Group that has seen average annual revenue growth exceed 20 per cent since 2006.
