Philip Nölling will take up the post of Chief Financial Officer with DPD Germany on 1 January 2016 and also become a member of the board of management at DPD GeoPost (Deutschland) GmbH.
As CFO he will be taking over from Thomas Loock, who has decided to accept a new challenge outside of DPD.
In Philip Nölling DPD has appointed to its management team an executive personality with a doctorate in economics and proven experience in the fields of parcel logistics, distance selling and e-commerce. His previous appointments have taken Dr. Nölling via a management post with the Gruner + Jahr group to Otto Group, where after a number of executive posts he became Group Finance Director. Most recently he was Commercial Director at Hermes Logistik Gruppe Deutschland, an Otto Group subsidiary.
"With his professional background Dr. Philip Nölling has exactly the right experience and qualifications to support us in our new positioning within the B2C segment, and in the continuation of our process of profitable growth”, said DPD CEO Boris Winkelmann.
Dr. Nölling added: "DPD is currently undergoing an exciting transformation process, which has already met with impressive, clearly visible success. I'm looking forward to helping to shape this development in future."
Boris Winkelmann thanked the departing CFO for the contribution he has made to the success of the company: "Thomas Loock has made a decisive contribution to shaping the healthy development which DPD has experienced in recent years, and to driving forward our growth." Thomas Loock became DPD CFO in April 2013.
