According to DHL, McQueen will be responsible for long-term growth across sectors such as aviation, consumer goods, healthcare, retail and technology. He will also be in charge of integrating solutions with freight and logistics services from South China’s major development zones.

“Designing supply chain solutions that meet and exceed the unique needs of customers isn’t just my passion – it’s also essential for long-term growth that can withstand constant disruption and volatility in the marketplace,” said McQueen. “Having laid the foundations for such growth in the Greater China region, I’m excited to be focusing on Hong Kong as the linchpin in our regional operations, and look forward to leading our excellent team of more than 1,000 experienced supply chain employees to even greater heights.”
