World's leading contract logistics provider and a business division under Deutsche Post DHL Group, DHL Supply Chain (DSC), has announced two strategic leadership movements in APAC.

Effective February 15, 2022, Jérôme Gillet, currently CEO Singapore Cluster, DSC will switch roles with Alfred Goh who is currently CEO Japan and Korea Cluster, DSC. While Gillet will take over as CEO Japan and Korea Cluster, Goh will assume new responsibilities as CEO Singapore Cluster, covering Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines and Indonesia. Gillet will relocate to Japan and Goh will move to Singapore.

In their new roles, both Gillet and Goh will continue to report to DSC CEO APAC, Terry Ryan. They will remain members of the APAC Management Board.

"The tandem moves of both Alfred and Jerome allow the unique opportunity to leverage the specialized skill sets of two outstanding colleagues to drive further growth in their respective markets," said Terry Ryan, CEO DHL Supply Chain Asia Pacific. "Their focus on customer centricity, detailed operational knowledge and innovative approach to supply chain challenges will help chart new avenues in their respective clusters."

Under Gillet’s leadership as CEO Singapore Cluster, DSC has become the leading semi-conductor logistics provider. With a strong background of 22 years across Asia, Gilet joined DHL in 2008 as VP, Consumer & Packaging Business Development, DSC. He was subsequently appointed as CCO, Asia Pacific, DSC, before assuming his position as CEO, Singapore Cluster, in 2016. As CEO Japan & Korea Cluster, Gillet will accelerate growth with a focus on profitability in the region.

"Under Alfred's leadership in Japan and Korea, he has firmly established the automation and robotics agenda for the organization and delivered strong growth. Building on this strength, I look forward to working with the team to strengthen and expand the cluster  especially in the technology, retail and life science sectors," said Jérôme Gillet, CEO DHL Supply Chain, Japan Cluster. "

Goh is no stranger to DSC either. He started his career with DHL in 2004. Before taking on his role as CEO Japan & Korea Cluster, DSC, in 2018, he served as President, Fast Growing Enterprises (FGE) in SIngapore which he held since 2010, and assumed additional responsibilities as Regional Head Customer Solutions & Innovations Asia Pacific in 2017. In his new role, Goh will focus on furthering the digitalization agenda and building strategic growth platforms in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

"Jerome has been instrumental in establishing strategic partnerships and developing turnkey solutions across Singapore, Malaysia and the Philippines," said Alfred Goh, CEO Singapore Cluster, DSC. "I'm excited to return to this dynamic region, and with Indonesia added to the fold, I look forward to continuing our momentum in key sectors such as semiconductor and create strategic growth platforms in ecommerce omni-channel, life sciences and government related offerings in the four countries."

How this strategic leadership switch fuels growth and profitability for DSC is to look forward to.
