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.

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.

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.
