CEVA Logistics integrates businesses worldwide
CEVA Logistics has announced a major restructure. Effective immediately, four Regional Presidents will be responsible for running the integrated businesses in Contract Logistics (CL) and Freight Management (FM).
CEVA resulted from the merger of the former TNT Logistics with EGL Eagle Global Logistics in August 2007. The new company originally retained the CL and FM businesses as separate divisions, with the exception of Asia-Pacific which tested a model integrating the two businesses at country level. Following a very successful nine-month pilot in that region, the Company has now decided to adopt the integrated model globally.
CEVA announced the following appointments at the most senior level:
> Joe Bento, President, Americas and Global FM network
> Vittorio Favati, President, Asia-Pacific
> Bruno Sidler, President, Northern Europe
> Gianfranco Sgro, President, Southern Europe, Middle East & Africa.
In recognition of its global nature and need for coordinated leadership, Joe Bento retains responsibility for the FM network to ensure cross-regional effectiveness.
CEVA has also emphasised the critical significance of its three global sector teams covering the Automotive, Technology, and Consumer/Retail industries. These will shape sector strategy, lead product development, co-ordinate the Company’s Century (Top 100) key accounts, and act as trouble-shooters
