German logistics group deugro has promoted Steffen Behrens (above) to the position of chief commercial officer (CCO), effective immediately.

Mr Behrens has been with deugro since 2017 and “played a pivotal role in leading and developing the Middle East region from his base in Dubai”.

He has over 20 years’ experience in the project logistics industry and has held various roles in the UAE, China, and Germany, for deugro and other companies, including within DG Schenker’s project logistics division for almost five years prior to joining deugro.

In 2022, he was promoted to president of Middle East operations at deugro and, during a transitionary phase, will continue to serve as both COO and ME president until 1 September.

Thomas Press, deugro chairman and co-CEO, said: “I look forward to his insights and leadership as our newest c-suite member.”

Mr Behrens added: “As someone who has been part of the deugro family for many years, I am thrilled to embrace this new role and the exciting challenges it brings.

“I am deeply committed to driving our group forward and continuing our global development to further strengthen our position in the industry,” he added.
