Born in 1981 close to the shipyard, he lives with his wife and two children in northern Germany, right near the shipyard. His background is in watersports and he absolutely loves travelling and being in nature with his family. Björn has been with Abeking & Rasmussen for almost 23 years. He began his career in boat building at the shipyard in 2002, learning to create unique pieces for the superyacht industry. After 10 years in production, he moved to the estimating team in the financial department. Björn grew fast to become an experienced member of the Abeking & Rasmussen team, learning a lot and never stopping to rest. He joined the in-house Yacht Sales Department in 2017, bringing with him a wealth of experience in yacht building gained from his previous roles. Björn has played a key role in driving improvements and managing projects within the company for years. As a Sales Manager, he immerses himself in every new build enquiry and swiftly assembles the team to identify the optimal solutions for each client. Björn’s extensive knowledge and ability to motivate the team to find solutions in an effective and enjoyable manner are invaluable assets.
He has supported the company in numerous custom-made yacht new builds and refits during his time with us. He is a familiar face at boat shows and events worldwide, and he maintains close contact with brokers, de-signers, and other key figures in the yachting industry. Björn is an excellent communicator with a knack for storytelling and networking. He’s not afraid to dive into unfamiliar territory and gets things done. He’s a hands-on leader who gets results.
