Dachser CDO Stefan Hohm was presented with the prestigious "LEO Award for Innovation" by the logistics trade journal DVZ in Hamburg, Germany. In its laudatory speech, the jury highlighted Mr. Hohm´s commitment as a driver of innovation and change in logistics.

For the 16th time, the German-language logistics trade journal DVZ presented the prestigious LEO Awards in the four categories Manager of the Year, Entrepreneur, Innovation and Lifetime Achievement. For the third and last time being, the venue was the historic courtyard of the Museum of Hamburg History, which shone in late summer splendor for the occasion.

It was an evening that also turned out to be a highlight from Dachser's point of view. Stefan Hohm, Chief Development Officer and member of the Executive Board, received the LEO Award for Innovation from Robert Kümmerlen, member of the DVZ editorial board. The award was given in recognition of Stefan Hohm's ability and motivation to embrace change and constantly reinvent himself-in his 30-year career at Dachser as well as in his role on the Executive Board as developer of innovations and future topics for the network. He does this with a great deal of passion and persuasiveness, while always keeping the future viability of a business model in mind.

Award for team and network

The honoree himself dedicated the LEO Award to his team in the IT & Development department, his management colleagues, and especially the entire Dachser network, which is putting Dachser's digital transformation into practice with a healthy dose of "courage to innovate. "It's rewarding to turn ideas into innovations with a strong team and together with the Dachser network and our customers," Stefan Hohm explained when he received the award. "Above all, it's important to take people with you, i.e., to reduce fears of technology, also explain potential dangers, and then get pilot projects up and running that can be scaled."

Digital transformation in close interaction between people and technology: at the subsequent LEO Gala, this forward-looking approach by Dachser was certainly still material for lively discussions among the approximately 300 guests in Hamburg.

Hub International announces strategic partnership with Mas Seguros to expand transportation cross-border capabilities

Chicago, IL, October 1, 2024 - Hub International Limited (HUB), a leading global insurance brokerage and financial services firm, announced today an exclusive referral and broker program partnership throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico with MAS Seguros, the largest trucking insurance broker in Mexico. The partnership is a response to Mexico’s growing influence in the global economy and a reflection of HUB’s and MAS Seguros’ commitment to expanding its capabilities to better serve clients doing business throughout North America.

Due to changing global political relationships and policies*, there has been a significant move for manufacturing operations to Mexico, which comes with increased risk and insurance challenges when transporting goods cross-border. Organizations face regulatory compliance issues, crime, product damage, catastrophic weather events and accidents. Additionally, more transportation firms from Mexico are moving to the U.S. As a result, there is an emerging transportation and logistics need to manage risk and insure freight, property and assets while transporting goods into Mexico for manufacturing and then back to the U.S. and Canada.
