Market insight: Cashing in on logistics woes – a win-win for the C-suite

In private conversations about job market pay in logistics, and what to expect for 2021, a pattern of substantial income inequality has emerged, recently substantiated by ad-hoc announcements, often under the radar and not widely advertised by some of the major supply chain actors.
And while workforce rationalisation is still quietly happening in places – don’t mention DSV Panalpina (DSV PAN) anymore, “we are likely done for some time, say to …

Market insight: Coming soon: Ceva loads the C-suite with new exec from Hellmann

Nowadays some jokingly refer to Ceva Logistics as “Panalceva” because of a string of powerful hires from Panalpina in the wake of the DSV takeover – but, provocatively, it could well be time for a further enhancement from Marseilles, where its parent CMA CGM is headquartered.
Spare a thought for a casual marketing stunt or just a straight revamp. Then what about “Ceva Logistics Worldwide” or even “Ceva Worldwide Logistics” instead …
