Leading global transport and logistics group EV Cargo has announced that, effective 1 January 2025, Heath Zarin will take on the role of Executive Chairman. Since founding the company in 2018, Heath has served as Chairman and CEO, leading the organisation through a period of remarkable growth and innovation.
Under his leadership, EV Cargo has rapidly developed into a global leader in transport and logistics, recognised for its innovative solutions and customer-centric approach. Heath’s vision to create an integrated logistics network has driven the company’s growth, leading to significant acquisitions and organic expansion. As Executive Chairman, Heath will focus on guiding the overall strategic direction of EV Cargo to deliver exceptional value to its customers, employees and stakeholders.
Additionaly, Chief Strategy Officer Simon Pearson will be promoted to Group CEO. As Chief Strategy Officer, Simon has been instrumental in shaping EV Cargo’s strategic direction and expanding its global capabilities. Simon has successfully led initiatives to enhance operational efficiency and customer service, contributing to significant growth and profitability for the organisation.
Simon’s unique contribution to the creation of EV Cargo, combined with his strategic vision and leadership skills, positions him well to lead as Group CEO. His focus on innovation, operational excellence and customer satisfaction will continue to drive the company’s growth and success.
This leadership transition is part of a well-planned succession strategy aimed at ensuring continuity while positioning EV Cargo for future growth. With a commitment to best-in-class standards for corporate governance, EV Cargo decided it would be a good time to separate the roles of Chairman and CEO. Creating and separating the roles of Executive Chairman and Group CEO promotes a more robust governance structure, enhances accountability, and supports effective strategic and operational leadership within the organisation.
Heath Zarin, Executive Chairman of EV Cargo, said: “Founding and leading EV Cargo has been an incredible journey. I am proud of what we’ve accomplished together and thankful to everyone who has contributed to the successful development of EV Cargo.
“I am excited to transition to a new role that allows me to continue to lead EV Cargo with a focus on our long-term vision, strategy and corporate governance. Our commitment to growth, innovation and sustainability will remain at the forefront of our strategy as we strive to deliver exceptional value to our customers, employees and stakeholders.”
Simon Pearson, incoming Group CEO of EV Cargo, added: “I am honoured to step into the role of Group CEO. I look forward to building on our successes and leading EV Cargo into the next chapter of growth and innovation. Together with our talented team, we will focus on enhancing our capabilities, generating value from the major investments and strategic developments we’ve made in recent years, while staying true to our mission of managing supply chains for the world’s leading brands.”
Heath and Simon’s combined leadership, along with the incredible team and global workforce, will see EV Cargo expand its position in the global transport and logistics industry and enhance its ability to meet the evolving needs of its customers.
