As we approach the 43rd Anniversary of the founding of our Company on Sunday, it is time to reflect again on the legacy of our Founder, Torben Karlshoej.
Torben had many talents and successes, but his greatest gift to Teekay were the values that he instilled in our company. Above all, Torben knew that it was people that really matter in a company. His lasting mantra of “always work hard and do it right, but make sure that you have fun while doing it” is the very root of our company values: Together with Teekyay Spirit.
This video – created more than 15 years ago – captures the memories of many who knew him well. To learn more about the history of Teekay, take a look at our book.
