DHL Supply Chain appoints Brindha Pillay as its CFO

Logistics solution brand DHL Supply Chain has appointed Brindha Pillay as its new chief financial officer of its Australian and New Zealand arm.

Pillay will succeed Craig Roberts who will be relocating to a DHL role overseeing Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

Pillay has worked at the company for 15 years, beginning her tenure at DHL as finance manager for Australia.

Prior to being appointed CFO, Pillay was the senior VP, global head of accounting and process digitalisation finance.

Commenting on her new role, Pillay said, “Roberts has built a strong finance organisation, and I’m committed to driving value for the organisation, focusing on strong financial performance, process innovation, and transformative growth.”

Roberts said, "It gives me great pleasure to pass the torch to Brindha, whose exceptional skills and dedication will undoubtedly drive continued success for DHL Supply Chain in ANZ.

"I couldn’t think of a better person to succeed me and have full confidence in her ability to continue driving strategic value for the business.

Roberts and Pillay have been working closely together to ensure a successful transition.

Kwok-wai Lee, CFO, Asia Pacific, DHL Supply Chain, said, “I have every confidence in Pillay's abilities to step into the CFO role with her strong business acumen, developed in key finance roles both in Australia and internationally.

"I have worked closely with Pillay and Roberts over the years and have seen first-hand their excellent contributions to the DHL Supply Chain business.”

Roberts has been a valued member of the DHL group for almost 30 years, first joining in 1995 as a financial accountant in South Africa.

He held various CFO positions in APAC and EMEA before relocating to Australia in 2017 to lead the financial operations across ANZ.

Throughout his time in Australia, Roberts was instrumental in the acquisition of the Cameron Group, the development of several strategic projects and made a contribution to the growth of the business.
