DANX Carousel is pleased to announce that Angela Qu has joined its Board of Directions, as Independent Director.
Angela brings with her a wealth of expertise in global supply chain management, from leadership roles across Asia and Europe, which will support DANX Carousel in realising its ambition of becoming the European leader for time-critical in-night logistics.
Angela is an entrepreneurial executive with more than 25 years’ experience in the areas of organizational transformation, people development, procurement, supply chain and management consulting. She has held senior executive roles in large multi-national companies with global footprints, including Siemens, Bühler-Leybold, ABB and most recently as Chief Procurement Officer at Lufthansa Group. She served as supervisory board member for Lufthansa Cargo until March 2022.
Commenting on Angela’s appointment, Jonathan Simpson Dent, Chairman of the Board of DANX Carousel said: “Her extensive experiences across industry, as well as her proven track record in global supply chains is going to be crucial to our board as we continue to grow and importantly, meet the advancing needs of our clients, in a world more reliant on efficient supply chain infrastructure, than ever before.”
Currently, Angela is an Independent Board Director for Gurin Energy; member of the Board of Trustees at the Chartered Institution of Procurement and Supply, and an executive advisor for o9 solutions, a fast-growing company in digital transformation. Angela lives with her family in Switzerland.
Angela added: “It is a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with DANX Carousel and I look forward to working alongside the board and management team in the organisation’s continued journey toward growth, innovation and service enhancement.”
At the beginning of this year, Danish private equity company Axcel simultaneously acquired two companies – Carousel Logistics and DANX – which each specialise in time-critical spare parts logistics, and subsequently merged the two, creating DANX Carousel. In September, Carousel Logistics announced the acquisition of Irish full-service transport and logistics company, Alltrans, a key step in continuously improving service and reliability to DANX Carousel clients.
