Management changes at Paycargo
Paycargo is continuing its global expansion with 13 new vendor customers joining the Paycargo payment network since Lionel van der Walt joined as president and CEO of the Americas. The appointment of van der Walt followed a global agreement between Paycargo and Iata earlier this year to create the Iata-Paycargo system, a payment settlement system for the air cargo industry.
Van der Walt replaced Eduardo Del Riego as CEO of the Americas, who is now leading Paycargo’s global strategies and expansions as global CEO. Another recent appointment at Paycargo is Brian Akers, who is taking on the role of vice president, sales, and will work alongside Timothy Walton, vice president, sales, who has been with Paycargo since 2013.
Akers has more than 20 years of experience in global logistics through leading teams across the USA, Canada and Latin America. Pay Cargo’s Leonardo Hanon is also moving from the role of assistant vice president, sales to assistant vice president operations. (mw)
