Javier Bilbao expressed eagerness to take on this new responsibility and build upon the solid foundation laid by Terry Ryan over the past seven years.

Acknowledging Asia Pacific’s role as a prominent contributor to global economic growth, Bilbao conveyed his enthusiasm for tapping into the region’s potential and steering the business toward further expansion.

Javier Bilbao’s affiliation with the DHL Group dates back to 2000 when he embarked on his career journey in the UK.

From 2017 onwards, Bilbao has held the position of CEO for DHL Supply Chain Latin America, concurrently serving as a member of the division’s Global Board.
