CEVA, a leading global supply chain management company, announces that John Pattullo has joined the company as its new Chief Executive Officer. Pattullo replaces Dave Kulik as CEO of the recently merged companies, CEVA and EGL, which will now operate under the CEVA company name. Also effective today, Kulik will now serve as Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of CEVA Group Plc.

Prior to joining CEVA, Pattullo led Deutsche Post/DHL’s €7bn EMEA Contract Logistics business as Chief Operating Officer.

“I am very excited to come on board CEVA at a time when these two great companies have joined forces. We have created one of the world’s major players in the global supply chain industry, supported by a talented and experienced leadership team. CEVA has the ability now, more than ever, to offer our customers a world-class service. ” said Pattullo.

As a result of the merger of CEVA and EGL, the company will operate two divisions, CEVA Contract Logistics and CEVA Freight Management.
