Edoardo Podestá to head Dachser air & sea logistics
Dachser has appointed Edoardo Podestá as the COO of the air & sea logistics business unit. Podestá replaces Jochen Müller in this position. Dachser and Müller have mutually agreed not to extend his contract when it expires in 2020. Müller will stop working for Dachser with immediate effect.
In recent years, Müller was responsible for developing the air and sea freight business into a network company with operations worldwide, thereby putting in place the foundations for globally integrated supply chain solutions for the company’s customers. The job of heading up the global air and sea freight business goes to Podestá, an experienced Dachser manager.
The Italian joined Dachser back in 2003 as part of the management team for the Züst Ambrosetti Far East joint venture after Dachser had taken full control. In recognition of his successful expansion of the air and sea freight business in Asia, he was appointed managing director of the Asia Pacific business unit in 2014. (mw)
