Former Tiaca chairman becomes Kales CEO
Dirk Hazenoot, who decided to step down after having worked for almost 20 years for the Amsterdam-based GSSA Kales Group, the last two years as CEO, will be succeeded by a well-known face in the airfreight industry.
Sebastiaan Scholte (right, speaking with ITJ's Andreas Haug at Tiaca's last Air Cargo Forum in Toronto, two years ago) has over 20 years of senior management experience with Aeromexico Cargo and Cargolux and as CEO of the RFS provider Jan de Rijk Logistics. He has also been a board member and chairman of Tiaca.
Scholte: "GSSAs play a crucial role in the air cargo supply chain and Kales Group is a very well-known reputable brand in the market." With over 30 offices in more than 20 European countries, as well as in Mumbai, Toronto, Quito, and Bogota, Kales represents more than 90 airlines handling 250,000 t of cargo per year. (amh)
