Two senior appointments to drive DHL's Middle East growth

The move consolidates DHL's position as market leader in the Middle East, where the company has been offering world-class express logistics services to customers for 30 years.

Phil Couchman, Regional Director for DHL Middle East said:

"The vast experience and market knowledge of David and Janet uniquely qualify them for their new roles. With over 40 years DHL service between them, they will drive our regional and UAE operations as we place increased emphasis on regional growth, commercial focus and brand awareness."

David Wild, who has served as DHL UAE's General Manager for six years, has been appointed Area Commercial Director taking responsibility for 13 countries throughout the Middle East and Levant. The 24-year DHL veteran has been responsible for expanding DHL's operations in the UAE and driving record revenue growth during his period. He will be based in Dubai.

Janet Jweihan, has been with DHL for nearly two decades, and will spearhead and strategise the company's future expansion plans in the UAE as the country's new General Manager. Succeeding Wild and bringing a wealth of experience, Jweihan was Country Manager of DHL in Kuwait for the past five years. She recently relocated to Dubai after leading her team in Kuwait to the title of Country of the Year award twice, establishing Kuwait as one of the DHL leader countries across the region in terms of operations' growth.
