Three ways I work
with logistics businesses.

What this covers

• Growth strategies and strategic market positioning
• Change management and restructuring
• Procurement — air freight, ocean freight, domestic transport
• Operational innovation and process improvement
• Sales activity guidance and business development
• Profitability improvement

Who this is for

CEOs and leadership teams in freight forwarding, third-party logistics, contract logistics, and transport companies. Typically engaged during periods of underperformance, leadership transition, market entry, or when an experienced outside perspective is needed to challenge the status quo.

What this covers

• Acquisition target identification and evaluation
• Divestment support and sale preparation
• Post-merger integration planning and execution
• Synergy capture and cost reduction strategies
• Due diligence support from an operational perspective

Background

Ron led the full AU/NZ integration of Bax Global after DB's acquisition in 2006, and the acquisition and integration of SB International in Christchurch in 2017. Since 2023, he is a partner at WCL (Worldwide Consultants in Logistics, Germany) — a firm specialising in M&A for the freight and logistics industry since 1999.

What this covers

• CEO, MD, and C-suite recruitment
• Senior operational and commercial leadership
• Candidate identification across Australia, NZ, and Asia-Pacific
• Industry-specific assessment and shortlisting
• Placement of best candidates with deep sector knowledge

Why it works

After 40 years in the industry — 13 as CEO of one of Australia's largest freight companies — Ron knows the talent pool personally. This isn't database recruiting. It's informed by decades of working alongside, competing with, and hiring the people who run logistics businesses across the region.
