"I am extremely excited about the opportunity to work with Leo in the technology space, as his knowledge and experience will enable us to make a breakthrough in our efforts to build a strong value proposition for technology customers," said Eric Herman, global CCO of Damco.

"It is a clear ambition to make the technology sector a major contributor to our business, supporting our strategy to diversify our business further," he adds.
