Regional Asia chief departs Panalpina

   Global freight forwarder Panalpina has promoted Stefan Karlen to regional chief executive officer for Asia-Pacific.
   He moves up from managing director Southeast Asia on Monday.
   Panalpina said his predecessor Marco Gadola is leaving the company to pursue a career opportunity outside the logistics industry. “We regret the departure of Marco Gadola because he is a well experienced manager and contributed a lot to Panalpina’s performance,” CEO Monika Ribar said.
   Karlen has worked at Panalpina since 1997. – Eric Kulisch
