CEVA appoints Milton Pimenta to lead logistics cluster down under

CEVA Logistics has appointed Milton Pimenta as managing director of its Australia and New Zealand logistics cluster.

Mr Pimenta will move from his current position, head of contract logistics in South America in January, reporting to CEO Xavier Urbain.

He takes over from Carlos Velez Rodriguez, who is leaving CEVA to pursue other career opportunities.

Mr Pimenta joined CEVA 17 years ago, and has worked across both freight management and contract logistics. He has lived in both Australia and Asia, and the company said that he has extensive knowledge of the industry there.

Mr Urbain said: “Milton is a very astute operator with an energetic, commercial mind.  He is a true team motivator who is ideally placed to lead the Australia & New Zealand cluster in the next step of its development.

“I also want to thank Carlos for his valuable contribution in the turnaround of the business there and for developing one of the most impressive contract logistics campuses we have.”
