Freight forwarding veteran Marco Nazarri (above) has been appointed chief commercial officer (CCO) of German transport and contract logistics group Duvenbeck.

Mr Nazarri has more than 30 years executive leadership experience in supply chains and “a strong focus on scaling commercial performance”, the company said.

He was most recently global head of commercial of DP World’s freight forwarding operations, a role he spent nearly two years in, after three years leading the freight forwarding department of Imperial Logistics, which was then acquired by the Dubai-headquartered port operator.

His time at Imperial was preceded by 18 months as Crane Worldwide Europe VP.

However, a large part of his career was spent at Ceva Logistics and its predecessors, where he ultimately held the role of head of global sales.

“With this proven track record, Marco Nazarri will be essential in accelerating the Duvenbeck Group’s growth ambitions,” the company said in a statement.

In his new role he will report directly to Duvenbeck Group CEO Hakan Bicil, the seasoned logistics executive who, after roles with Toll, Panalpina and Ceva Logistics, was CEO of Imperial during its sale to DP World.

He joins fellow ex-Ceva, ex-Imperial executive Christian Seidl, who was appointed Duvenbeck’s chief operating officer (COO) for the north-west Europe region last November.
