Kuehne+Nagel announces new leadership in Japan

Kuehne+Nagel, one of the largest freight forwarders in the world, has appointed Yutaka Matsuyoshi as the company’s Managing Director for Japan, effective 1 August 2024.

His predecessor, Cedric Dulong, will now focus on Kuehne+Nagel’s Japan Development Program, which aims to enhance the country’s role in international commerce.

Yutaka Matsuyoshi brings 25 years of extensive experience in the supply chain and logistics industry to his new role. His career encompasses various regions, including Japan, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, China, and Switzerland, where he has managed numerous logistics transformation projects across different industries.

Before joining Kuehne+Nagel, he spent nine years overseeing Global Logistics at Adidas. In 2022, Yutaka assumed the position of Global Head of Operations for the international supply chain at Kuehne+Nagel’s Group headquarters in Switzerland.

Yutaka Matsuyoshi commented, “I am delighted to have the opportunity to lead our Japanese organisation and its skilled teams. Together, we will put focus on better understanding the challenges our Japanese customers face today, especially in these volatile times. This will help us to further enhance our offerings with an emphasis on customer needs. I look forward to leveraging my experience to its fullest extent to ensure we build long-term partnerships with our customers in Japan.”

As part of its Roadmap 2026, Kuehne+Nagel has identified Japan as a strategic growth market. The Japan Development Program will focus on fostering business growth among Japanese corporations, both domestically and internationally.

To enhance its partnerships with Japanese clients, Kuehne+Nagel has appointed Mitsuhiro Inaba as Director of Sales and Marketing in Japan, effective 1 August and Kenzo Yamada as Director of Air Logistics Japan, effective 1 September.
