Kuehne+Nagel turns the complexity of global trade into a managed service. Its core economic role is to make thousands of carriers, ports, warehouses, and customs processes behave like one coordinated supply chain for the customer.
Kuehne+Nagel makes money by arranging and managing freight flows for customers. It earns forwarding spreads in ocean and air logistics, fees in road logistics, warehouse and contract logistics revenue, customs brokerage fees, and specialized premiums in healthcare, perishables, aerospace, and other regulated verticals.
Chief Executive Officer
Paul leads the group through the post-pandemic freight normalization, with emphasis on disciplined margins, digitalization, and specialized verticals.
Chief Financial Officer
Blanka-Graff oversees financial discipline, cash generation, capital allocation, and reporting through volatile freight cycles.
Executive Vice President Sea Logistics
Aldwell leads the core ocean freight business, the largest strategic engine in Kuehne+Nagel's forwarding portfolio.
Executive Vice President Contract Logistics
Razuck leads contract logistics after the 2025 management board change, focusing on sticky outsourcing relationships and vertical growth.
The company faces freight-rate cyclicality, shipper price pressure, digital forwarding competition, carrier vertical integration, geopolitical disruption, and the need to decarbonize transport without giving away margin. The normalization of ocean freight rates after 2022 remains the clearest pressure on reported revenue.
