In his new post, Bennett, who has nearly 30 years’ experience in transportation and logistics, will oversee the company’s U.S. business operations.

The company said his extensive experience includes senior management roles for several respected companies in the logistics industry, including K Line America, Schneider Logistics and Li & Fung Logistics, where he led teams delivering supply chain solutions in a variety of capacities including ocean, air and intermodal freight, warehousing and distribution, global sourcing, contract logistics, e-commerce, origin hub fulfillment centers and cargo management/4PL services.

He also has been a frequent guest speaker at industry events.

“We are confident that David will be an asset to GES and will contribute significantly in its further expansion,” said Mustapha Kawam, President & CEO of GES. “We are also pleased on him joining the company to provide leadership for the Americas, an extremely important market where we are committed to taking our business to the next level.

“At GES, David has the opportunity to leverage his deep supply chain experience with a company that is well positioned and poised for growth given our continued investment in resources, technology and “A-Team” talent.  I welcome David on board and extend him complete support in taking Globe Express Services - USA to new heights of success.”

“I’m humbled to join GES in this capacity, which provides me with a remarkable opportunity to strengthen the company’s growth in the region at a time when there are strong demands for swifter logistics,” said Bennett. “This company has a long and proud reputation for providing excellent customer service, with a loyal customer base throughout the Americas.

“GES’s mission of ‘providing logistics solutions delivered by people who care’ really sums up our approach, which will be reinforced through our core values of operational excellence, transparency, accountability and integrity. I’m challenging the organization to take the word ‘No’ out of our vocabulary in order to better serve customers and provide an unparalleled service experience.”
