Bolloré Logistics has announced the appointment of new managers to reinforce its Energy and Projects (ExP) team in the Asia Pacific region.

Bolloré said through these appointments, the company demonstrates its ambition to further develop its expertise in this sector, which is undergoing a profound transformation with the ongoing energy transition.

It noted that Eric Mancini had been appointed regional director with effect from January 1, 2023. Having worked for the Bolloré Group for the past 28 years across various entities and roles, he most recently played an instrumental role in leading the development of the industrial projects vertical in Asia Pacific, successfully structuring major deals for the company.

Mancini takes over from Frederic Gervais, who has assumed the role of strategic account director based in Malaysia.

Based in Tokyo, Philippe will help to strengthen Bolloré Logistics' ExP position within North Asia, overseeing the development and management of the company’s North Asia activities.

John Schofield, meanwhile, has taken on the role of head of sales as of January 3, 2023 — managing all sales aspects of the ExP team in the region, including business development, regional account management and bid responses.

"Over the past 18 years, Bolloré Logistics has established a strong foundation and developed an extensive network of clients within the Asia Pacific region. We are now focused on developing our capabilities to offer value-added, innovative, reliable, and sustainable solutions," Mancini said.

"I am confident that with the team, we will be able to further grow the business and elevate the Bolloré Logistics brand in Asia Pacific."
