“After 15 years with the company, I’m excited to build on the tremendous work of Randy Tucker and honored to serve as President & CEO of GEODIS in Americas,” said Honious. “While these are uncertain times, we’re energized about the future. We have assembled a top-tier leadership team, and we have aggressive growth plans with our sights set on becoming a top three logistics provider in the industry. I’m confident we’re on the track to achieve this for a number of reasons—starting with our unwavering commitment to our clients and followed by the fact that we are incredibly strong in many areas, such as e-Logistics, that are helping our clients succeed now and ultimately shaping the future of logistics.”
