Yusen Logistics Announce European Healthcare Leadership

Yusen Logistics is pleased to announce the appointment of Bruno Jacques as the new CEO of Yusen Logistics Healthcare (Europe) and Deputy MD of Yusen Logistics Europe, following the successful closing of the acquisition of the Walden Healthcare Group. Bruno joined Yusen Logistics in 2018 as Managing Director of Yusen Logistics Benelux and Nordics, where he successfully transformed the organisation, expanded the business and oversaw key acquisitions including Parts Express, Ajimex and Groupe Pierre.  In early 2024, Bruno's role was expanded to include Germany and Switzerland, forming a region under a single management team.

This region-spanning seven countries, has since experienced significant transformation and growth under his leadership.  Bruno has also been one of the key drivers behind Yusen Logistics' acquisition of the Walden Healthcare Group. In his new role he will focus on integrating the Walden Group into Yusen Logistics Healthcare Europe, accelerating the growth of the Europe region and supporting the expansion of healthcare logistics services globally.

To support this next phase, Yusen Logistics also announces the leadership team that will assist Bruno to guide the strategic, financial, people and technology integration:  

  • Timmy Adriaens, Chief Financial Officer of Yusen Logistics Healthcare (Europe)  
  • Ines Iglesias, Chief Human Resource Officer of Yusen Logistics Healthcare (Europe)
  • Lode Cornelissen, Chief Information Officer of Yusen Logistics Healthcare (Europe)
  • Kosuke Tanamoto, Head of PMI of Yusen Logistics Healthcare (Europe)

Together, this leadership team will shape the development of a unified and future ready healthcare logistics organisation within Yusen Logistics Europe.  Bruno Jacques comments:  "Today marks an important moment for our organisation.

We are bringing together the strengths, expertise and passion of teams that share a strong commitment to patients, customers and operational excellence.

I am honoured to take on this role and excited about the opportunities that this combination of capabilities will create across our entire network.

With the Walden companies now joining Yusen Logistics Europe, we are building something strong and meaningful for the future."
