Martin Habisreitinger will join Hellmann as chief operating officer airfreight in February
Hellmann Worldwide Logistics has announced the appointment of Martin Habisreitinger as chief operating officer airfreight with effect from 1 February 2025.
He will succeed Jan Kleine-Lasthues, who, after 13 successful years with Hellmann, has decided to pursue other opportunities.
Habisreitinger will report to Madhav Kurup, who will assume the position of chief operating officer airfreight, seafreight, and contract logistics on the Global Management Board at the beginning of next year.
The group said that Habisreitinger brings over 20 years of experience in global airfreight management, having held senior roles at Kühne and Nagel, DB Schenker, and most recently DHL Global Forwarding, where he served as vice president for Starbroker Asia Pacific.
As part of his role, and with a proven track record of driving growth and operational efficiency, particularly in the Asian market, Habisreitinger will collaborate closely with Hellmann’s international airfreight team to strengthen the company’s presence, it said.
This includes a focus on the e-commerce sector as a key driver of growth in the air cargo market.
“We are delighted to welcome Martin to the Hellmann team in February,” said Jens Drewes, CEO Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.
”Asia Pacific is a highly dynamic market and his extensive experience will be instrumental in supporting our growth ambitions in the region.
“We would also like to express our sincere gratitude to Jan Kleine-Lasthues for his outstanding contributions and wish him the very best for the future,” he added.
