CEVA Logistics has appointed Gianclaudio Neri as managing director (MD) of its Italy cluster.
He will be based in Milan, and takes up his position with immediate effect, reporting directly to CEO, Xavier Urbain.
Neri brings more than 30 years’ experience in senior roles across businesses in Italy to his new role with a particular emphasis on turning around and developing companies.
In his previous roles, he successfully put 2i Rete Gas, the leading gas retailer in Italy, back on track, and driven Intermarine back to profitability and has also led Piaggio to significantly improve returns which allowed it to IPO in 2006.
He succeeds Christophe Poitrineau who is leaving CEVA to pursue other career opportunities.
Urbain said: “Gianclaudio brings a wealth of knowledge and experience of driving businesses forward to his new position. Our team there will be able to call on his turnaround skills as they progress the company in Italy to the next step of its development. We warmly welcome him to our team.”
