In order to allow for a dedicated focus on the Post and Parcel business and to leverage the tremendous growth opportunities in the e-commerce sector, the Deutsche Post DHL (DP DHL) Group has decided to refocus the Post - eCommerce - Parcel (PeP) division on the post and parcel business.
The business will be renamed Post & Paket Deutschland and will remain under the interim leadership of Group CEO Frank Appel.
The international parcel and e-commerce businesses - previously DHL Parcel Europe and DHL eCommerce - will be established as a standalone division, DHL eCommerce Solutions, under the leadership of Corporate Board Member Ken Allen.
The Supervisory Board of Deutsche Post AG today named Ken Allen (63) as the Board member for DHL eCommerce Solutions and extended his contract to the Corporate Board of Management until 2022.
Ken Allen's new mandate will include the Parcel Europe and eCommerce businesses which are currently within the existing PeP division.
Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Deutsche Post DHL Group, Dr. Nikolaus von Bomhard, said: "Ken Allen has successfully shaped the Express strategy and has led the division on an unparalleled growth trajectory by unlocking its revenue and profit potential.
“With his relentless focus on the core principles of customer centricity, employee engagement and profitable growth, Ken established truly world-class processes within the Express division, making it the most profitable division of Deutsche Post DHL group.
"I have no doubt that the DHL eCommerce Solutions division will greatly benefit from Ken's ability to deliver exceptional performance and value for DHL customers, using his significant experience in building networks and leading people with an inspirational style."
