In 2004, he moved to DHL Express Europe as director of operations, freight and network coordination Europe. Over his 13 years with the company he bounced across its many divisions, including DHL Supply Chain and DHL Worldwide before being named chief executive of DHL in Nordic region in 2011.

Both Mr Dumont and Mr Bertsch will step into their new roles on 1 September.
Chairman of the board Peter Nilsson thanked Mr Bertsch for his “leadership, commitment and dedication throughout his tenure”, adding that he had laid a solid foundation for his successor.
