Executive Moves: SEKO Logistics, Kuehne + Nagel and Inchcape

SEKO Logistics appoints VP of network development, while Kuehne + Nagel’s global air freight head steps down and Inchcape Shipping Services names VP of North American operations.    Terence Madl has been named SEKO Logistics’ vice president of network development. He previously spent 10 years at AIT Worldwide Logistics, including six as director of corporate development, and prior to joining SEKO was responsible for domestic and international operations at Perimeter Global Logistics.

Tim Scharwath, who formerly head of global air freight at Kuehne + Nagel, has decided to leave the company for “a new challenge.” He has worked at K+N in various management positions for 24 years and is credited with expanding the forwarder’s air freight operations to No. 2 globally, K+N said.

   Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS), a maritime and logistics services provider, has promoted Stacie Speckman to vice president of operations for North America. With more than 30 years’ experience in the maritime industry, Speckman joined ISS in 2015 as area general manager for Houston from tanker specialist, Laurin Maritime, where she worked as operations manager.
