New UPS Logistics and Distribution president

New UPS Logistics and Distribution president    UPS said it has named Brad Mitchell president of UPS Global Logistics and Distribution.
   He will direct distribution services and post sales services worldwide, including warehousing, order fulfillment and delivery and returns processing for mission critical parts. He will also lead UPS Mail Innovations, offering customers postal services through the USPS work share program.
   “The post-sales supply chain is becoming increasingly important in today’s complex marketplace and UPS is a leader in the space,” Mitchell said. “We have the specialized experience, dedicated management team, global capabilities and systems needed to help our customers improve the performance and efficiency of their post-sales supply chains and turn them into a competitive advantage.”
   Mitchell’s primary focus is to provide service part logistics for aerospace and high tech industries as well as for the medical devices sector of the health care industry. These services include asset recovery, recycling management, field tech support, returns and repair management to customers, large and small, around the world.
   Mitchell held various senior operational and financial positions before becoming the operations manager of UPS Global Logistics and Distribution. He joined UPS in 2000 when it acquired Canadian health care logistics company Livingston Inc. That acquisition expanded UPS’s health care logistics focus by adding regulatory-compliant and controlled environment distribution facilities and services across North America.
