CJ Logistics poaches Expeditors veteran as it eyes international growth

South Korea’s CJ Logistics has poached Expeditors veteran Jonathan Song, appointing him head of global business as it looks to hasten its overseas growth.

Having spent more than a quarter of a century with Expeditors, CJ is reportedly hoping Mr Song’s appointment will be key in strengthening the company’s cross-border activities and pave the way for growth in India, the Middle East and the US.

“Jonathan is a strategic leader with unparalleled experience in global sales and marketing. His leadership will generate synergy with our network and logistics technologies, accelerating our push toward becoming a global top 10 logistics company,” the company said.

Joining Expeditors in 1999, Mr Song spent the last 11 years as the company’s SVP for global sales and marketing.
