DHL Supply Chain has made changes to its global leadership team, restructuring roles and adding new members to its Global Board of Management as it positions itself for the future.
Oscar de Bok, Global CEO of DHL Supply Chain, noted that the global logistics landscape is "shifting rapidly," with economic pressures and geopolitical complexities presenting new challenges and opportunities.
"These new board members, through their diverse perspectives and proven leadership, will strengthen our company's ability to streamline operations, explore new markets, implement innovative digitalization solutions and develop future-proof strategies for our continued success", he said.
In the announcement, DHL said Patrick Kelleher will assume the role of CEO of DHL Supply Chain North America effective July 1, 2024. He currently serves as global chief development officer.
He will succeed Scott Sureddin, who will retire from DHL Group on December 31, 2024, after over 20 years of dedicated service.
DHL said Markus Voss—currently serving as the division's global chief information officer and chief operations officer—will become the chief development officer of DHL Supply Chain on July 1, succeeding Kelleher. In his new capacity, Voss will lead the development of the business unit, additionally overseeing the teams of Service Logistics, Solutions Design, and all strategic growth products. He will also continue to be part of DHL Supply Chain's Global Board of Management.
"This change will result in a split of Voss's previous role," the announcement said.
It noted that Sally Miller, currently chief information officer for North America and global digital transformation Officer, will assume the position of global chief information officer effective July 1, reporting to Oscar de Bok.
In addition, Mauricio Barros, currently senior vice president of global operations for DHL Supply Chain, will be elevated to the role of global chief operations officer effective July 1. Barros commenced his career with the Group in Brazil in 2002 and has since held numerous management roles across Latin America, including the role of president of DHL Supply Chain in Brazil.
