They are coming back. Slowly but surely, managers who left CEVA in its darker days are returning; from Crane, Kuehne + Nagel, SEKO, SDV and Agility.
At the same time, quietly, CEVA has been rolling out its new IT, a freight management system which it has developed over years at a very reasonable cost, less than $20m. In the past quarter, it has completed its US implementation. (“Any teething problems we had were easily bearable in comparison with those at DHL GF,” smiles one CEVA executive.)
CEVA has entered a new chapter, one which started when former K+N executive Xavier Urbain took over from Apollo (CEVA’s private equity owner) stooge Marvin Schlanger at the start of 2014. The change is starting to pay dividends at a company which has been on shaky financial ground.

August 06, 2016 at 2:40 amAgree, it looks more and more like a positive spin …
C’mon after 2.5 years at the helm and telling everybody you have a Sales machine and super efficient operation how can you not Win business and add to EBITDA?
Why add to debt?
I think he just knows how to cut … reorganization into 17 clusters is clearly just a Marketing gik for X… on the ground they lost many experts and people who drove the business everyday within each country….
May be X should reorganize it into 4 clusters… then he can save more…
