DHL GLOBAL FORWARDING NAMES NEW PRESIDENT DIRECTOR FOR INDONESIA
July 12, 2024

DHL Global Forwarding has appointed Nicholas Bongsosartono as the new president director of DHL Global Forwarding Indonesia.

 

He will be based in Jakarta and report to Thomas Tieber, CEO of DHL Global Forwarding, Southeast Asia and South Pacific.

 

DHL said in this new position, Bongsosartono will drive growth, improve operational efficiency, and deliver service excellence to customers in the Indonesia market.

 

It noted that Indonesia represents one of the dynamic markets in the region, with an expected GDP growth of 5.1% this year.

 

"We are delighted that we have managed to promote internally, a testament to our dedication to nurturing talent and providing opportunities for our employees to thrive and excel in their roles," DHL added.

 

The company noted that Bongsosartono's knowledge of the market and the business will play a pivotal role in strengthening DHL's position in Indonesia.

 

"His extensive experience across various aspects of the logistics industry, including air and ocean freight, inland transpiration, customs brokerage, as well as contract logistics, makes him well-suited for this leadership position," said Thomas Tieber, CEO of DHL Global Forwarding Southeast Asia and South Pacific.

 

Bongsosartono joined DHL Global Forwarding Indonesia in May 2023 as head of airfreight.

 

Prior to this, he was the head of Product Management at AP Moller-Maersk for Indonesia and the Philippines, where he designed and managed a comprehensive portfolio of commercial products and services.

 

"Indonesia is a very exciting market with stable growth expected from growing investments and consumer spending. I am optimistic about the thriving freight industry in Indonesia and confident that my experiences, combined with the exceptional team at DHL Global Forwarding Indonesia, will be instrumental as we enhance DHL's footprint and foster regional connectivity," Bongsosartono said.

 

DHL Global Forwarding Indonesia has been expanding its presence and enhancing its service offerings to respond to customers' evolving needs.

 

In March 2024, the company launched its first EV logistics Hub in Batam, Indonesia, to contribute to the country's development of an integrated EV supply chain.

 

It was also at the forefront of electric last-mile delivery in Jakarta, being the first freight forwarder to deploy an electric van in the city.
