Guillaume Sauzedde will take up the newly created role at CEVA Logistics of managing director for Germany and Eastern & Central Europe.

By creating a single cluster under Sauzedde’s leadership, CEVA aims to accelerate growth in contract logistics, air, ocean and ground freight management.

The management team in Germany and Central & Eastern Europe will report to Sauzedde, who takes on the duties of Christian Wurst who is leaving CEVA at the end of the month.

Sauzedde joined CEVA in October from Kuehne + Nagel Poland where he was responsible for all business lines.

He has more than 20 years of logistics industry experience, and strong market knowledge in both Germany and Eastern Europe.

CEVA Logistics CEO, Xavier Urbain says: “I am delighted to announce this new role for Guillaume. I would also like to thank Christian Wurst for his work during his time with CEVA. He hands over a well-positioned organisation ready for future growth.”

Sauzedde will take over the expanded cluster on 30 November and will continue to report directly to Urbain.
