Pearson will lead one of the fastest growing regions within DHL Express. EEMEA is the largest region in the network, covering 86 countries and 14 time zones. Pearson will supervise more than 10,000 employees serving customers in over 850 languages.
“John has always had a singular focus in responding to the needs of the business and in identifying and securing appropriate and new channels for profitable growth,” said John Mullen, CEO, DHL Express. “His direct experience of working in the Middle East for eight years coupled with his business acumen and commercial experience will be a huge asset in the diverse region of EEMEA.”
