Based in the UK, he will report directly to Eric Sanchez, senior vice president of global development, and will be responsible for leading the company’s global development in the healthcare sector, establishing both its strategy and action plan and managing a team of regional healthcare and life sciences leads.

Meanwhile, Cross has more than 15 years’ experience in logistics and has spent the last five years in the healthcare logistics industry. Her previous positions include global accounts director for pharma and consumer accounts at Kuehne + Nagel and trade lane manager US/UK at DB Schenker.
