Lorenzo Stoll to take the reins at Swiss WorldCargo as Ashwin Bhat moves on

Nestlé veteran Lorenzo Stoll (pictured) is set to become head of Swiss WorldCargo after Ashwin Bhat moves to Lufthansa Cargo as chief commercial officer next month.

Mr Stoll, currently head of western Switzerland, moves up on 1 April after being at for Swiss WorldCargo for more than seven years. However, the majority of his career was at Nestlé, where was commercial director and global customer director for Nestlé Waters.

Chief financial officer Markus Binkert added: “I am really pleased that in Lorenzo Stoll we have appointed such a skilled and seasoned expert from our own ranks.

“Lorenzo has been instrumental in ensuring our success in Geneva and our positioning as a premium carrier. I’m convinced that, with his wide experience in the commercial, the consumer goods and the aviation fields, he will be just as effective in further developing our air cargo division. And I wish him every success and satisfaction in his new capacity.”

The search for Mr Stoll’s successor to oversee Swiss’s key Geneva market is under way, said the carrier.
