In his new role, Ross is responsible for the leadership and strategic direction of this newly-formed region, headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
David Ross has a deep understanding of international trade and logistics in the Middle East, India and Africa and he knows what our customers in this region need to be able to grow their businesses, said David J.

"Some of the worlds most rapidly emerging economies are in the Middle East, India and Africa, said Bronczek. GDP in this important area is expected to grow by 4.2 percent in 2015 and, through Davids leadership, we are prepared to build on our long-term presence in the region so that we can better serve our customers in the local markets as they expand their businesses.
