TNT adds NA President
TNT Express, looking to raise its profile in the United States and Canada, created the new position of president for North America and named Matthew McDonough to the post.
The new structure separates North American and South American regional duties that had been overseen entirely by Curtis Watson, president of the Americas for TNT Express.
The shift comes as Netherlands-based TNT is preparing to sell its separate logistics unit in a move to focus more closely on its mail and express divisions, which are strong in Europe but lag far behind the large express operators in the United States.
“Matt’s strategic foresight will further drive our business forward in North America in the years to come.” said Watson.
A onetime operations manager for Airborne Express, McDonough has been with TNT for six years, most recently as regional vice president for the Americas and North American operations.
