The Board of Directors of Kuehne+Nagel International AG appoints two new members to its Management Board. Effective October 1, 2025, Eduardo Razuck will assume responsibility for the business unit Contract Logistics, succeeding Gianfranco Sgro. As of May 1, 2026, Søren Schmidt will take over from Dr. Hansjörg Rodi and will be responsible for the Road Logistics business unit.
With Søren Schmidt (Danish citizen, born in 1972), Kuehne+Nagel gains a recognised expert in the field of global road logistics. Following a successful 30-year career at DSV A/S, including around ten years as CEO of the Road Logistics division, Schmidt is regarded as one of the most distinguished leaders in this sector worldwide. Dr. Hansjörg Rodi has decided to retire in summer 2026 as part of his personal plans.
Eduardo Razuck (dual Italian and Brazilian citizen, born in 1979) brings extensive international leadership experience. He has held various senior positions at Kuehne+Nagel since 2003. Over the past three years, he has been responsible for the Contract Logistics business in North and South America and has served as a member of the global leadership team for Contract Logistics. His appointment ensures continuity in the leadership of the business unit. From 2015 to 2022, Eduardo Razuck led Kuehne+Nagel’s country operations in Brazil. Gianfranco Sgro has decided to pursue a new professional challenge as CEO of a company in the mobility sector after more than a decade at Kuehne+Nagel.
Dr. Joerg Wolle, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Kuehne+Nagel International AG, comments: “With the appointment of Søren Schmidt, Kuehne+Nagel welcomes an outstanding figure in the logistics industry. At the same time, the appointment of Eduardo Razuck reflects the successful development of strong leadership talent within Kuehne+Nagel. Both Søren and Eduardo bring extensive expertise and many years of successful experience to our Management Board. We are confident that they will continue to drive the company’s positive development.”
“On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would already like to extend my sincere thanks to Dr. Hansjörg Rodi and Gianfranco Sgro for their many years of dedicated and successful service on the Management Board of Kuehne+Nagel.”
