Freight forwarder Dachser has appointed Thomas Hiemer as its new chief financial officer.
Hiemer took over from Dachser chief executive Burkhard Eling, who has held the position for the past 18 months, on January 1.
Hiemer has been working in the finance department at Dachser for 12 years, joining as manager of group control before taking on the position of head of corporate finance in December 2021.
In July 2023, he was appointed deputy director of the finance, controlling, tax & treasury executive unit and deputy head of finance.
Before joining Dachser, he worked in finance at the DAX-listed company Heidelberg Materials in the US and China.
Eling said: “Sustainable growth that is oriented to the long term — that’s what guides Dachser’s thinking and actions as a family-owned company. A strong and well-orchestrated finance department has an important role to play here.
“Thomas Hiemer has already become thoroughly familiar with the chief financial officer role at Dachser. He will take over seamlessly and thus ensure continuity in management.”
