Thanks to the booming cross-border e-commerce, digitalization and its positioning in all vertical industries, John Pearson, the new executive officer of DHL Express, expects that the global express market and companies will continue to make positive development. The members of the Board of Directors took effect on January 1, 2019. Pearson played an important role in the decade-long success story of DHL Express. It is expected that the growth data of the Group's express department will continue in 2019 and beyond. Pearson replaced Ken Allen as the CEO of the newly established DHL e-commerce solutions department.

"We are very pleased that John Pearson has joined our board of directors," said Frank Appel, CEO of Deutsche Post DHL Group. "He has a good track record and a deep understanding of the express business. John's extensive operational knowledge and business experience in the department will ensure that DHL Express will continue to grow successfully in the next few years."

DHL Express aims to use its network in 220 countries and regions to take advantage of the development of global trade in the next few years. Due to the development of e-commerce, the economies of Europe, the United States and Asia have continued to grow, and there is a huge potential for cross-border express delivery in the field of consumption. In addition, these markets continue to lay the foundation for B2B-driven logistics services in automotive, life sciences and healthcare, banking, retail and technology industries."In the past ten years, DHL Express has achieved great success, and its annual revenue growth has made great financial contributions to the Group. This development is largely due to our pursuit of quality, the firm dedication of our 100000 employees worldwide and the crazy customer-centric culture." John Pearson asserts. "I am proud to be able to upgrade Express to a new level. We will use all existing channels to transform every opportunity into revenue growth. We are modernizing our regional and intercontinental aviation fleet, and we will continue to invest in our international infrastructure and innovative technology, while ensuring that our delivery process further meets the needs of customers to maintain our customer experience and satisfaction level.
