Christof Debrun will be the new CEO of DHL Supply Chain France. He succeeds Nico Schütz, who will take on the position of CEO at ASMO (Advanced Supply Management Operations), a joint venture of DHL Supply Chain and Aramco in Saudi Arabia. These changes will take effect on May 1, 2026, against the backdrop of ongoing growth and increased specialization in the industry.
Debrun brings extensive experience to the company. Most recently, he served as VP Global Controlling & Analytics at DHL Supply Chain in Bonn and has nearly 18 years of experience within the company. His connection to the French organization is strong, as he previously worked for more than five years as CFO in France. Rainer Haag, CEO of DHL Supply Chain Europe, emphasizes the strategic importance of the French market within the company’s network and highlights Debrun’s in-depth knowledge and successes in France.
Focus on growth and specialization
With his leadership role in France, Debrun will drive the expansion of DHL Supply Chain in key high-value areas. He commented on his new role:
“It is both an honor and a significant step for me to return to France and lead DHL Supply Chain in an environment of strong growth. The teams can be proud of the progress made in recent years.”
Debrun plans to continue the positive development by further expanding the customer portfolio in value-adding sectors while maintaining the balanced industry mix established in recent years. “We will continue to invest, deepen our specialization, and support our customers with the same level of operational excellence. To achieve this, we will accelerate our digitalization and innovation initiatives and fully leverage the tools and expertise of the group,” he added.
