DHL GLOBAL FORWARDING TAPS AMANDA RASMUSSEN AS CHIEF COMMERCIAL OFFICER
May 19, 2025

DHL Global Forwarding has appointed Amanda Rasmussen as its new chief commercial officer (CCO), effective May 15, 2025.

 

In her new role, Rasmussen will report directly to Tim Scharwath, CEO DHL Global Forwarding, Freight.

 

 

Rasmussen succeeds Thomas George, who has transitioned to a Group-level role as executive vice president, overseeing the implementation of the new corporate strategy for 2030.

 

"We are excited to welcome Amanda [Rasmussen] to her new position as Chief Commercial Officer," Scharwath, said. "Her deep understanding of the logistics landscape and proven track record in driving commercial success will be a great asset as we continue to enhance our offerings and strengthen our position in the market."

 

The DHL Global Forwarding chief noted that with the evolving market landscape and growing complexities in trade and tariffs, Rasmussen will help showcase the company's strong value proposition in supporting customers to navigate these challenges.

 

"At the same time, I would like to thank Thomas George for his dedication and the important role he has played in the development of our business over the past years," Scharwath added.

 

Rasmussen has nearly 30 years of experience in the logistics industry. She joined DHL Global Forwarding's International Supply Chain (ISC) business in 2010, where she initially focused on the South Asia-Pacific region. In 2015, her responsibilities expanded to encompass ISC Operations across the entire Asia Pacific.

 

She also held leadership positions at Indo Trans Logistics and Expeditors International before returning to DHL in 2024 as senior vice president order management solutions (OMS).

 

"Our digital solutions, combined with our global network of dedicated experts and extensive portfolio of transport and value-added services, including customs brokerage, make DHL Global Forwarding a comprehensive one-stop shop for all logistics needs."

 

"Alongside our commercial team, I am eager to showcase the significant impact DHL Global Forwarding can have for our customers, especially during challenging and complex times."
