Ramon Gallen has been appointed as the new MD of Noatum Logistics in Asia in replacement of Marco Gaeta who has been in the role for the last eight years.
Gallen joined the company in December 2014 as deputy managing director, having worked in several areas after that.
In his time in the earlier position, his main professional milestones were his contribution to the Komet integration project in Turkey as well as his support to the MIQ acquisition and integration team in 2019.
Earlier this year, and after having carried out several projects in Istanbul, Chicago and Peru, he was subsequently appointed as the global head of sea freight at the company.
Gallen brings a wide experience in integrations, a cross-disciplinary knowledge of the different activities and regions of the company and a strong focus on results. Based in Hong Kong, his new role will be focussed on consolidating the company’s presence in Asia.
On the other hand, Daryl Ridgway will undertake Gallen’s role as the new global head of sea freight in the company.
Ridgway is a senior executive level professional with over 30 years of experience in logistics specialised in ocean freight and supply chain. He has a proven track record of delivering results through strategic development and operational excellence. His most recent role was as global head of oceanfreight for Panalpina and he has also held senior positions at Kuehne and Nagel.
His main goal will be to capture the synergies of the global procurement within the group as well as to develop the global sea freight product of this business area of the company.
