New CEO at DHL Express Sweden starting 2008
At his own request, DHL Express Sweden’s CEO, Lars Sundman, will be resigning from his post at the end of 2007. Lars Sundman is 57, and has worked with DHL management to draw up a smooth succession plan for DHL Express Sweden. Lars Sundman will remain a member of DHL Express Sweden’s Board of Directors, while continuing to work as advisor to the CEO of DHL Express Nordic.
Starting 6 January 2008, the new CEO will be Lars Jordahn, Danish by birth, who currently works at DHL in Brussels as head of Hubs & Gateways in Europe. Lars Jordahn started working at DHL in 1984 and has since held some ten positions of increasing responsibility within the company.
Lars Sundman started out working at ASG in 1977. ASG was later acquired by Deutsche Post World Net, leading eventually to the merger between DHL and Danzas in 2003. Lars Sundman has since then had a successful tenure as CEO of DHL Express Sweden.
Lars Jordahn will start out by managing two projects at DHL Express Sweden in August 2007. Alongside these responsibilities, he will undergo a five-month phasing-in period during which time he will be introduced to his work as chief executive officer by CEO Lars Sundman before ultimately taking over as CEO by the end of the year.
