We are very pleased to announce that, Morgan Olausson will be new Managing Director of DFDS Seaways AB in Sweden. It would have been difficult to find someone better qualified for this important task than Morgan Olausson who comes to DFDS from a position as Director LTL/FTL Management North West Europe at Kuehne + Nagel, a supplier of logistics services and a customer of DFDS.
He came to Kuehne + Nagel in 2005 and held different management positions such as Director Business Development and Director Overland Scandinavia until he was appointed Director FTL/LTL Management North West Europe in 2009. Along with his deep insight in the logistics and supply chain business, he brings with him valuable experience from our own industry where he was Norfolkline's Director Scandinavian Division from 2001-2005.
"We are proud to welcome Morgan Olausson as new Managing Director of DFDS Sweden AB and thus head of our important services out of Gothenburg. With Morgan Olausson's well-known focus on customers, I am confident he is the right person to continue developing DFDS services in Sweden and add valuable experience to our organization," says Senior Vice President Kell Robdrup, acting Head of DFDS Seaways AB.
