16 April 2024 - 11:17PM
DP World, a global leader in logistics and trade solutions, has
named Manuel Martinez CEO of DP World Dominicana. Martinez’s
appointment marks another milestone in DP World’s growth strategy
for the country, which aims to position the Dominican Republic as a
leading player in global trade and logistics.
Martinez’s appointment comes during a time of significant growth
and portfolio expansion across the America’s region and DP World’s
businesses globally. Last month, DP World announced the opening of
its 100th freight forwarding office as the company expands the
range of supply-chain solutions offered to its global customer
base. In 2023, DP World announced the launch of its new advanced
air cargo logistics hub in Punta Cana. With air, land, and sea
capabilities, the multimodal hub is positioned as the primary trade
and logistics center in the Caribbean.
Martinez, who has more than 20 years of experience in global
logistics and port management, joined DP World in 2010. He most
recently served as General Manager of Terminales Portuarias
Euroandinos (TPE) in Paita, Peru, where he was responsible for
leading operational and commercial strategy.
Prior to that, he served as Director of Operations for DP World
Buenos Aires, where he oversaw operations, security, and the
expansion of services in the cargo container and cruise terminals
at Terminales Rio De La Plata (TRP). Martinez is a Civil Engineer
and holds an MBA from Torcuato Di Tella University, Argentina.
Morten Johansen, COO of DP World Americas, said:
“Manuel's deep experience and understanding of port operations will
significantly contribute to DP World’s vision for DP World
Dominicana. I look forward to his leadership in driving our
operations forward as DP World continues to set new benchmarks for
excellence in the Dominican Republic.”
Manuel Martinez, CEO of DP World Dominicana, said: “I am
deeply honored to assume the role of CEO for DP World Dominicana,
particularly during this time of growth and expansion. I am eager
to leverage DP World's global expertise to enhance our portfolio of
supply chain solutions and contribute to the region's economic
development.”
