                    Emirates SkyCargo and Kuehne + Nagel to Head Cargo iQ Board

By: Logistics Middle East Staff
Cargo iQ has announced a change in leadership of its membership board with representatives from Emirates SkyCargo and Kuehne + Nagel, reports Aviation Pros.
Henrik Ambak, senior vice president of cargo operations worldwide at Emirates SkyCargo, has been appointed chair of Cargo iQ’s board.
Kerstin Strauss, vice president and head of global air logistics operations at Kuehne + Nagel, will now occupy Ambak’s former position of vice-chair of the board.
“The knowledge and experience of both Henrik and Kerstin will prove to be incredibly valuable to our organisation,” said Ariaen Zimmerman, executive director at Cargo iQ.
“Cargo iQ membership continues to develop as the cargo industry looks to streamline and improve efficiencies and our new Chair and Vice-Chair will be essential in advising us in the coming year,” he added.
Ambak started his career in freight forwarding before moving to management roles in airport and cargo handling.
He has occupied his current role at Emirates SkyCargo since 2014, responsible for service delivery management, including the management of the two SkyCargo terminals in Dubai.
Ambak also oversees standards, procedures, and compliance efforts to ensure the safety and security of Emirates SkyCargo’s service, as well as systems.
“The strength of Cargo iQ is the use of its Master Operating Plan (MOP) as the practical tool in the daily planning and execution of service delivery across the globe facilitating forwarders, airlines, and handlers,” said Ambak.
“Cargo iQ has, in reality, only just started as the rapid development of specialised cargo services and the fast spread of disruptive technologies screams for operational facilitation frameworks to serve our clients better and quicker,” he added.
Strauss has built her career at Kuehne + Nagel, rising through the ranks since she started as an apprentice in 1994. She has worked across both sea and air freight, and headed up strategic customer development in pharma and healthcare prior to taking up her current role in air logistics in 2017.
“Kuehne + Nagel, as one of the founding members of Cargo iQ, remains highly committed to the principles and strategic objectives of this air cargo interest group, driving industry standards, data quality and transparency,” said Strauss.
“I am personally excited to join the Board of Cargo iQ as Vice-Chair and to actively contribute to the expanding objectives that the group is developing in order to address the evolving market demands of the air cargo industry,” he added.
