Commenting on his appointment, Bolla said: ‘I am grateful for the opportunity to lead UPS Healthcare and more than 10,000 healthcare logistics experts and a global network spanning 220 countries and territories worldwide. Together with this team of dedicated professionals, we will continue helping healthcare companies make their operations more precise, productive, scalable and smart.’

Bolla’s new appointment follows on from the retirement Wes Wheeler, who served as president of UPS Healthcare division over the last three and a half years. Wheeler previously served as the CEO of Marken before its acquisition by UPS in 2016, and he then pivoted to launch UPS’s healthcare vertical.
