   Clancey managed Maersk Inc.’s ocean transportation, truck and rail, logistics and warehousing and distribution businesses from 1999 to 2010. He brings to Livingston a wealth of senior-level operational experience leading complex international businesses for more than 22 years, in addition to 16 years of service with boards of large public companies in a range of industries.
   Clancey continues to serve on the boards of Maersk Inc. and Maersk Line Ltd. He also served as a member of the boards of UST Inc. from 1997 to 2009, and Foster Wheeler AG from 2000 to 2005.
   Laurie Woodruff, former leader of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Canadian audit and assurance practice, has also joined Livingston's board.

   “John’s business acumen and background in mergers and acquisitions, combined with Laurie’s expertise identifying and mitigating risk as well as his experience in strategy formulation and implementation will be invaluable to us, to ensure we execute our strategy effectively in the next four to five years, as we expand our leadership in customs and compliance in North America and become a national full-service customs broker in the United States,' said Peter Luit, Livingston’s president and chief executive officer, in a statement.
