Amanda Jones Rasmussen returns to DHL GF as new global CCO

DHL Global Forwarding has appointed Amanda Jones Rasmussen as its new global chief commercial officer, effective today. 

Ms Jones Rasmussen, SVP global head of order management solutions, takes over from Thomas George, who left the role in November to become EVP implementation strategy 2030. 

“As we continue to navigate a dynamic global trade landscape, I’m excited to lead our commercial strategy and customer engagement across markets,” she said.

“Our aspiration is clear, to be the undisputed industry leader by driving operational excellence, elevating the customer experience, and securing long-term, sustainable growth as we deliver on Strategy 2030.”  

Ms Jones Rasmussen was at Expeditors for four years prior to DHL, most recently as regional director Nordics. She has also been COO for Indo-Trans Logistics, and has worked at Damco, Maersk and Exel.

This is her second foray with DHL Global Forwarding – she worked there between 2010 and 2017, finally as head of operations, international supply chain, Asia Pacific. She is also on the board of AmCham Denmark and Fulbright Denmark.

DHL said: “Amanda brings extensive expertise in commercial, operations, and general management, including over 15 years of direct commercial experience in various sales and related roles across the US, Asia, and Europe. Additionally, Amanda has significant experience in regional and product-level P&L leadership, overseeing sales and commercial functions. Her extensive global experience across three continents, coupled with her leadership in complex transformations and her hands-on approach to building high-performing teams, equips her with the knowledge and vision necessary for success in her new role as CCO.”
