Nadia Ribeiro rejoins CEVA as head of South America cluster

Former CEVA Logistics executive Nadia Ribeiro has returned to the company after a three-year stint as Kuehne + Nagel’s country managing director of Brazil.

Ms Ribeiro has been appointed CEVA’s executive vice president and head of its South America cluster. Prior to joining Kuehne + Nagel, she worked for CEVA for 13 years.

“I am delighted to return to CEVA. A major factor in my decision was the strength and solidity of its new operating model, the experienced management team driving it forward and the way those two things are differentiating the company in the industry.

“The current economic climate means the South American market is in a constant state of transition, but I welcome the opportunities this creates for the team I will lead – providing us with opportunities to grow the business here,” she said.

CEVA Logistics chief executive Xavier Urbain said: “I am pleased to welcome Nadia back to the senior management team and am confident she will help us to develop the South America cluster and support our goal of creating strong added value services for our customers”.

She succeeds Richard Vieites who has moved to the company’s North American operations to become executive vice president of contract logistics.
