Prithu Srivastava
Steve Thompsett, currently Chief
Customer Officer, DSC Asia Pacific, will assume the role of CEO, DSC Australia & New Zealand and Life

role as Chief Customer Officer, DSC Asia Pacific. Both appointments
are effective 1 January, and Thompsett and Srivastava will continue to report to Terry Ryan, CEO, DSC Asia
Pacific.
"Steve is synonymous with
customer-centricity. In the past few years, the programs, solutions and systems
he put in place have embraced digitalization and change, creating strategic
products which, in the light of the pandemic, has proven farsighted," said
Terry Ryan, CEO DSC Asia Pacific. "Prithu's track record in Indonesia has
demonstrated the same spirit of innovation, entrepreneurship, and customer-centricity.
In a fast-growing market, he's demonstrated the ability to pinpoint specific
market gaps and customer pain points, taking the weight of DSC's product range
to market with speed and agility to deliver on transformational deals for our
business."
New CEO for DHL Australia, New Zealand Cluster

Asia Pacific. He stepped into his current position as CCO, DSC APAC, and member
of the DSC APAC Management Board in 2016 and has been instrumental in driving
growth in the region. With a diverse team spanning 13 markets, Thompsett's profound knowledge of
regional customer needs and extensive experience within APAC and Australia make
him the ideal candidate to take over the leadership for the Australia and New
Zealand cluster, and the region's lead for the Life Sciences and Healthcare
sector.
Thompsett will be based in Australia.
"The past two years have demonstrated the criticality of our services, keeping
supply lines running. At DHL, our mission is 'Connecting People, Improving
Lives'. This
has been evident during the pandemic. We've made sure our customers' supply
chain capacity has been maximized to keep essential supplies moving. The team
has delivered consistently to a high standard, and it's a privilege to helm a
team of first-rate supply chain professionals in our Australia and New Zealand
operations."
Innovative problem solver to drive region's
growth
Prithu has been with DPDHL Group for 15 years and has worked on various cross-business unit projects across multiple
regions. He joined DHL Supply Chain in 2011 and has worked as Strategy
Director, South & South-East Asia, Vice President Business Development,
Indonesia and since 2019 as Managing Director, Indonesia and a member of the
DSC APAC Management Board. He has contributed significantly to the growth of DHL
Supply Chain's Indonesia business. Under his leadership, DSC Transport
Indonesia saw several entrepreneurial initiatives introduced which helped the business
in Indonesia establish new avenues of accelerated growth in the emerging
market.
"DHL's logistics capabilities are not just a cost center
for our clients, but a strategic growth enabler. The recent pandemic linked
volatility has further highlighted this. I look forward to engaging with our
customers on how they can further leverage logistics as a growth enabler in
Asia Pacific." said Srivastava. "We have a market-leading portfolio across the
region and have the ability to deliver agile services at scale. I look forward
to working together with over 300 sales and solutions experts in 13 countries and
