DHL Express has announced the appointment of new regional CEOs for Europe and the Americas.
DHL said current Americas CEO Mike Parra is set to start a new role as the CEO of DHL Express Europe.
Meanwhile, Andrew Williams, the current CEO of DHL Express Canada, will take on the role as the new regional CEO of the Americas, effective January 1, 2024.
DHL noted that both will report to John Pearson, global CEO for DHL Express and will be members of the DHL Express Global Management Board.
"These appointments recognize the strong leadership and commitment to service excellence and to our customers' success of both Mike Parra and Andrew Williams. Mike has achieved many accomplishments in the Americas, including consistently strong revenue and profit growth, expansion of our leading international time definite network and an intense focus on employee engagement and well-being, and I’m excited to have him lead the organization in Europe," said Pearson.
He added that Williams has also been a great leader for the organization in Canada, growing revenue by nearly four times during his tenure and increasing our market share in the country.
"I trust that with his strong business acumen and commitment to innovation, people development and customer satisfaction, he will continue moving the Americas region forward," Pearson added.
Parra has been the Americas CEO since 2016.
He has led the DHL Express division to double in size from a revenue perspective and expanded its operational footprint in the region, most recently with new regional Hubs in the US, Mexico and Canada and historic new direct in-network flights to Argentina, Chile and Brazil.
As the newly appointed regional CEO for Europe, Parra will manage the operations of the DHL Express business across more than 60 countries and territories.
