Regional Chief Executive Officer — Logistics Marketplace

The mandate

A recent strategy review exposed redefinition of the regional portfolio after uneven market performance within a privately held technology-enabled mobility and transport platform. The immediate arena is the logistics marketplace during a unit-economics reset. For mandate 422, the successful executive inherits decisions that have been deferred, competing stakeholder expectations and a need to establish facts before committing further capital.

The Regional Chief Executive Officer operating perimeter covers approximately S$4,500 million in gross bookings and fleet portfolio, with activity spanning several logistics marketplace customer, product and delivery clusters rather than a single asset. The Regional Chief Executive Officer Mobility remit carries direct influence over roughly 1,200 colleagues and third-party capacity.

The board and its investment committee want a Regional Chief Executive Officer who can convert ambiguity into a short list of explicit choices for the logistics marketplace. The Regional Chief Executive Officer Mobility seat must resolve a unit-economics reset, while preserving the underlying strengths of the logistics marketplace. For mandate 422, value will come through sharper allocation, stronger leaders and an operating cadence that exposes variance early.

The Regional Chief Executive Officer’s first year on the logistics marketplace is expected to end with profitable regional growth and sharper market choices. In mandate 422, authority covers resources and leadership appointments; material trade-offs go directly to the board sponsor.

Why this seat is open

This is a planned replacement for the Regional Chief Executive Officer — Logistics Marketplace seat. The incumbent continues to lead the logistics marketplace through an agreed succession period and will support a structured handover. The board has allowed 4–6 months to assess candidates, complete diligence and protect continuity while a unit-economics reset is addressed. The search is confidential so the transition can be communicated to employees, customers and partners in a controlled sequence.

What you will own

• Set the Regional Chief Executive Officer value-creation thesis for the logistics marketplace, translate it into no more than five enterprise priorities and stop work that does not support them.
• Carry stewardship of approximately S$4,500 million in gross bookings and fleet portfolio, including allocation, risk acceptance and board forecasts.
• Lead the Regional Chief Executive Officer Mobility organisation of about 1,200 employees and partners, appointing a team with clear decision rights and credible succession for every critical seat.
• Resolve the logistics marketplace economics and execution constraints created by a unit-economics reset, with Regional Chief Executive Officer-approved owners, dated milestones and transparent escalation thresholds.
• Establish one Regional Chief Executive Officer operating review across commercial, customer, financial, people, technology and risk outcomes for the logistics marketplace; remove reconciliations that obscure accountability.
• Show personal ownership of a whole-enterprise choice involving capital, customers and leadership, not merely sponsorship of a functional programme in mandate 422.
• Build the Regional Chief Executive Officer’s three-year succession and capability plan for the logistics marketplace, reducing dependence on individual executives and improving mobility across the wider Mobility organisation.

The first 12 months

• Days 1–90: Validate the logistics marketplace baseline, meet the 30 stakeholders most consequential to redefinition of the regional portfolio after uneven market performance, assess the leadership team, stabilise immediate delivery risks and agree a board-owned scorecard with explicit decision gates.
• Months 4–9: Make the principal Regional Chief Executive Officer portfolio and organisation choices for the logistics marketplace, install the new operating cadence, fill critical leadership gaps and deliver the first measurable release of cash, capacity or customer value.
• Months 10–12: Demonstrate a repeatable logistics marketplace trend against profitable regional growth and sharper market choices, lock the following year’s capital and talent plan, evidence control sustainability and present a credible three-year value case with downside actions.

What the board will measure

• Delivery of the Regional Chief Executive Officer’s agreed first-year logistics marketplace value case within a 10% tolerance, with variance explained before rather than after the relevant quarter closes.
• A Regional Chief Executive Officer forecast that remains decision-useful across three consecutive quarters and reconciles the logistics marketplace’s operating, cash, customer and people assumptions.
• Closure of the Regional Chief Executive Officer mandate’s highest-priority logistics marketplace risk and execution issues by their board-approved dates, with independent evidence that fixes are sustained.
• Retention of at least 90% of critical logistics marketplace talent and ready-now successors for at least 70% of the Regional Chief Executive Officer’s direct reports.
• A quantified Regional Chief Executive Officer-owned improvement in the logistics marketplace operating constraint behind a unit-economics reset, supported by a clean baseline and named data owner.
• Clear stakeholder confidence in mandate 422: no unresolved high-severity escalation older than 30 days and no material surprise withheld from its agreed governance forum.

The person

You are currently a Regional CEO, Area President or multi-country Business Head in a privately held Mobility or adjacent enterprise. In relation to the logistics marketplace, your Regional Chief Executive Officer track record includes a transition where the original plan was no longer sufficient; you can explain your choices, evidence and numerical impact. Candidates from mobility, logistics, automotive, travel technology or consumer platforms will be considered where the operating model, customer stakes and governance intensity match this Regional Chief Executive Officer brief.

As a Regional Chief Executive Officer candidate, you bring 28+ years of progressive Mobility or adjacent-sector experience, consistent with the 28-plus experience band. At minimum, you have carried a P&L, book, budget or accountable portfolio of S$2,600 million and led an organisation of at least 850 people.

For mandate 422, the board wants two transitions: a difficult logistics marketplace portfolio choice and a leadership-system change during a unit-economics reset. As the prospective Regional Chief Executive Officer for this logistics marketplace, you must challenge optimistic cases and still create followership. References for mandate 422 must distinguish your contribution from the institution around you.

The Regional Chief Executive Officer must be based in Singapore; international relocation is supported, but this Mobility role is not designed as a remote appointment.

Non-negotiables

• Current or recent accountability at the level of Regional CEO, Area President or multi-country Business Head, with direct exposure to a board, investment committee or equivalent Mobility governance forum.
• Proven Regional Chief Executive Officer ownership of at least S$2,600 million and leadership of no fewer than 850 employees in a comparable logistics marketplace context.
• One completed Mobility or adjacent-sector example of redefinition of the regional portfolio after uneven market performance with outcomes sustained for at least two reporting periods after the initial intervention.
• Sector credibility from mobility, logistics, automotive, travel technology or consumer platforms; experience that is purely functional and lacks Regional Chief Executive Officer-level logistics marketplace consequences will not meet the bar.
• Willingness to meet the Singapore location expectation, complete conflicts and background diligence, and protect the confidentiality of mandate 422.

Compensation and terms

The anticipated Regional Chief Executive Officer package is S$700,000–950,000 base + annual incentive and LTI, calibrated to the final logistics marketplace scope and the candidate’s current mix.

A notice period of up to 6 months can be accommodated for the selected executive in mandate 422.
