Supply chain expert Mike DeDera joins JLL from DHL.
JLL has announced the appointment of Mike DeDera as its new director of supply chain.
DeDera, who joins from DHL, is a supply chain expert with significant third-party logistics experience in both B2B and B2C channels. He has particular expertise in e-commerce, where he has used his deep understanding of critical supply chain links to help large national retailers improve their distribution to maximise their online retail potential.
His appointment enables JLL’s Industrial team to become the first New Zealand real estate agency to integrate supply chain expertise within its client service.
“In 2020, the logistics and industrial market accounted for almost half of all commercial real estate transactions in New Zealand. And while Covid may not have checked the sector’s momentum, it has highlighted weak points in global supply chain networks,” DeDera said.
JLL New Zealand head of logistics and industrial Jolyon Thomson said DeDera’s appointment enables the company to provide clients with bespoke, sustainable solutions.
“Mike’s … experience and ability to take a deep dive into the supply chain dynamics of our clients will provide us with a key point of difference in the New Zealand market.”
