Flexport Appoints Daniel Sanvicente as Senior Vice President, Head of APAC
Flexport, a global leader in
supply chain technology, announced today the appointment of Daniel Sanvicente as Senior Vice President, Head of APAC,
effective December 2, 2024. Sanvicente will bring more than 25 years of leadership
experience and deep expertise in the Asian Pacific region to Flexport, where he
will focus on driving growth and strengthening the company's regional presence.
"Today, more than ever, the Asia
Pacific region is a critical hub for global supply chains. Daniel's deep
knowledge of the region and track record of building exceptional teams to help
organizations scale effectively will be invaluable as Flexport continues to
invest in and expand its presence in the Asia Pacific region,"
said Ryan Petersen, Founder & CEO, Flexport.
Sanvicente's track record in the global
logistics industry helped drive growth and operational excellence at some of
the world's largest logistics players. Most recently, he served as Chief
Commercial Officer for Asia Pacific at Hellmann Worldwide Logistics,
where he built and led a team responsible for some of the organization's
biggest growth drivers. Prior to that, he led commercial strategy for Panalpina
Greater China before taking on a leadership role focused on driving sales
growth across the APAC region from Singapore. After Panalpina was acquired
by DSV in 2019, Sanvicente established and led a newly combined commercial
organization spanning 15 countries. He began his career at DB Schenker, where he
developed strategic commercial and operational roadmap to scale teams in
markets such as Miami, New York, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
"I am excited to embark on my new
journey with Flexport. What drew me to Flexport is its vision of leveraging
cutting-edge technology to power global trade, which I believe has enormous
growth potential. I look forward to working with the world-class teams at
Flexport to deliver exceptional value for our customers and to grow our
presence across the Asia Pacific region," said Sanvicente.
Flexport has seen significant growth in
APAC in recent years. The company is the seventh largest freight forwarder in
the Transpacific Eastbound trade lane and services an extensive global network
of ocean freight routes. Flexport has also strengthened its air freight
capabilities by operating dedicated freighters that connect key APAC gateways
with the U.S. to meet rising demand. In addition to growing its presence in
strategic markets such as Greater China and Korea — which have been
central to its growth in cross-border e-commerce and other sectors —
Flexport recently announced a partnership with ITL Corporation in Vietnam to
further accelerate its expansion in Southeast Asia.
