Armstrong, who has led the registry since 2006, has stepped down and will join the registry’s Board of Directors.
Chatzigeorgiou joined MCI from Hellenic Silk Company, and previously held senior management roles at Seagull International Freight Forwarders Group and Cardiff Marine, a shipping and marine transportation services provider.
Tony Manarangi, an MCI Board member, said: “We are confident Angelos is the right talent who will strategically lead and move the registry forward – to achieve greater market presence globally, provide well-tailored solutions as well as maintain service excellence to our clients.”
Chatzigeorgiou is based in the registry’s newly-opened branch office in Greece. He said,
“Continuous service improvement is at the core of MCI’s mission and I look forward to working with the MCI team to further improve the registry’s service standards, and grow MCI’s portfolio across the European region, and globally.”
