HHLA appoints former DHL boss as chief executive

HAMBURGER Hafen und Logistik (HHLA) has appointed a new chief executive after current boss Angela Titzrath announced last month she would step down after nine years at the helm.

Jeroen Eijsink will take his post on October 1, 2025 for an initial three-year term. Titzrath will leave the Hamburg terminal operator on September 30.

Eijsink has held top management positions at Deutsche Post DHL, CH Robinson and Girteka.

Rüdiger Grube, chairman of the supervisory board of HHLA, said the company was “gaining an internationally experienced leader with a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities of global logistics”.

“His proven track record in leading and transforming complex organisations, as well as his clear vision for efficiency and innovation, will strengthen HHLA in a crucial phase of its further development.”

Eijsink said he was looking forward “to bringing my experience to bear in my role as CEO at HHLA and to driving the company forward in the dynamic environment in which we operate”.

“Together, we will seize the opportunities presented by transformation and further expand HHLA’s position as a key player in European logistics for the benefit of our customers.”
