Brambles Ltd finishes overhaul of senior management

Dolph Westerbos will join Brambles in mid-April as group president of CHEP EMEA, the pallet supplier and information management company said in a statement on Friday.

Prior to joining Brambles, Westerbos was Dell's vice president of solutions and services in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

The position included responsibility for Dell's services, software and data centre business for large enterprise, managing sales revenue of $US2.5 billion ($A2.76 billion) across more than 50 countries.

Brambles chief executive Tom Gorman recently described the appointment of a group president of CHEP EMEA as the "last piece of the puzzle", following a number of internal appointments announced in January.

"I am delighted to add an executive of Dolph's calibre to the Brambles ELT (executive leadership team), Gorman said in the statement.

"He has a strong operating background, considerable logistics and supply chain expertise and possesses a complementary skill set to the other members of the ELT."

"Dolph's perspectives on the deployment of emerging technologies will be invaluable to us as we look to expand our footprint and develop our services around the world."

Acting CHEP EMEA group president Peter Mackie will take over as group president of CHEP Asia-Pacific in early May after a handover period to Westerbos.
