DHL Announces Leadership Transition
Parcel carrier DHL Americas announced Monday that its chief executive officer, John Fellows, would move from his current post to a new role with parent company Deutsche Post World Net effective Jan. 1.
In addition to changing chief executives, DHL said it was opening a new regional sorting center in Minneapolis, the seventh such facility to be opened in 2004 as part of a $1.2 billion investment program launched in June.
The company said that John Mullen, CEO of DHL Asia-Pacific, would be succeed Fellows in the role as DHL’s top official for its US division.
Klaus Zumwinkel, chairman of Deutsche Post’s board, said in a statement that Fellows was brought out of retirement to help “create the DHL Americas business strategy, hire a senior management team and integrate Airborne and DHL USA.”
Zumwinkel said now that those tasks are complete, Fellows is being moved to another leadership position within DHL.
