UPS appoints new President for Growth and Emerging Markets
UPS has appointed Mark Vale as the President of Growth and Emerging Markets. Vale succeeds Derek Woodward, who retired after 32 years with UPS.
“Mark brings the global insight, experience and leadership that will help lead UPS to its next phases of expansion. We continue to increase and enhance our international product and facility footprint, driven by cross-border and local market growth,” said Jim Barber, President of UPS International.
“The World Bank forecasts suggest emerging markets and developing economies are poised for accelerated growth of 4.2% in 2017, compared to global growth estimates of 2.9%,” Barber added. “Connecting customers to economic opportunities requires a network of logistics and supply chain experts. We look forward to Mark helping align UPS’s global capabilities to meet customers’ needs.”
Vale joined UPS in 1988 in London and has held various finance and accounting assignments in the UK, Spain, Italy, Germany, Belgium and the US. He developed the company’s pan-European growth strategy and was the Corporate Controller and International Chief Financial Officer.
