DHL Canada and DHL Latin America create powerful regional unit led by Roger Crook
DHL has announced its strategy to combine two regions in the Americas. DHL’s divisions in Canada and Latin America — two successful regions in the global organization — came together to form DHL Express International Americas. Roger Crook was CEO of DHL Latin America when the two regions merged; he is now heading the newly united region as CEO of DHL Express International Americas.
“Canada is a region of great importance for our business in the Americas. One of my primary goals is to fully maximize its potential together with that of Latin America, to turn International Americas into an even more profitable region, through extensive market growth and by maintaining our already stable position as global leaders,” said Crook.
“I have no doubt that the unification of these two regions will significantly boost the quality of service we provide to all our customers. While it will enable us to develop our entire team with the best practices and experiences from both Canada and Latin America,” added the executive.
Crook also highlighted the successful administration by former DHL Express Canada President, Ken Allen, who significantly increased profitability in this country. Ken moved to the role of CEO of DHL Express Emerging Markets, which includes five sub-regions throughout the Middle East and Africa.
Prior to being in charge of the Latin America region, Crook led DHL’s Global Customer Solutions (GCS), driving it to become a pivotal element in DHL’s express and logistics business.
