Greenwich-based GXO Logistics has appointed Patrick Kelleher as its new CEO, effective Aug. 19, to replace Malcolm Wilson, who will retire from that position on the same day.
Kelleher has 33 years of global supply chain experience, having held senior executive roles at DHL Supply Chain, a division of Deutsche Post DHL Group, most recently serving as CEO, North America, GXO said.
“I look forward to working with the talented team at GXO to build on its strong foundation, continue to innovate, and deliver exceptional value to our customers and shareholders,” Kelleher said.
Kelleher was global chief development officer and CEO, Americas for Williams Lea Tag, when it operated under DHL’s ownership.
“He brings extensive expertise across many key verticals, including consumer goods, healthcare, technology, ecommerce, and manufacturing. He has also led strategic initiatives spanning transportation, supply chain planning, engineered solutions, and automation,” GXO said.
GXO said Kelleher was at the forefront of DHL’s deployment of advanced robotics, including the Boston Dynamics Stretch Robot, and oversaw four M&A transactions in the past year.
He will be based at GXO’s global headquarters, at Two American Lane, in Greenwich.
GXO has more than 150,000 workers in more than 1,000 facilities totaling over 2 million square feet.
