DHL appoints Kelvin Leung as Asia Pacific CEO

Mr Leung will be tasked to steer Asia Pacific region for its Global Forwarding unit.

Building on 2011’s positive revenue performance and maximizing opportunities in a challenging global economy, DHL Global Forwarding, the air, ocean, road and rail freight specialist of DHL, the world’s leading logistics company, is bringing together its North and South Pacific regional operations under the leadership of Kelvin Leung, formerly CEO for North Asia Pacific.

Roger Crook, CEO, DHL Global Forwarding, said: “DHL Global Forwarding is performing very well in a difficult environment, with excellent first half year results. However there are significant growth opportunities that we can leverage better to extend our overall performance. A new form of governance around the world that focuses on countries as business drivers and better mirrors how our clients are organized regionally will help us grow faster than the market.”

Leung said: “Asia Pacific is a key growth region of DHL Global Forwarding worldwide. In aligning with our customers and operating as a single region, we will be even stronger, swifter and more effective in capitalizing on the fast growth of intra-Asia trade that bring with it vast opportunities in the air, ocean and road freight sectors. Our country managers and I are looking forward to the challenge ahead.”

Amadou Diallo, CEO of Africa and South Asia Pacific, will become the new CEO of Freight, a fast-growing worldwide unit of DHL Global Forwarding. Both Leung and Diallo will continue to be members of the Global Forwarding Management Board and report directly Mr. Crook.

Kelvin Leung was promoted from Chief Operating Officer of DHL Global Forwarding Asia Pacific to CEO of North Asia Pacific in 2008. He has over 20 years of logistics experience, having joined Danzas AEI, now known as DHL Global Forwarding, in 2002 as Managing Director for Hong Kong, South China and Macau. In 2004, he became Vice President of the South East Pacific Region for DHL Danzas Air & Ocean, helping the company become market leader and more than double its size.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
