DHL Express has announced two important leadership appointments in the Asia Pacific region. Chee Choong Ng will become Senior Vice President of Human Resources for Asia Pacific, and Samuel Lee will be the Managing Director for Taiwan. These changes, effective January 1, 2026, show DHL’s focus on improving its people strategy and boosting growth in this fast-growing region.
Ken Lee, CEO for Asia Pacific, DHL Express, said, “Finding the right talent is more critical than ever, particularly in today’s volatile environment, where we need to balance the demands of a changing workforce with business priorities. Offering our people pathways to growth also makes us a Great Place to Work, which is why I am proud to see two crucial roles within the region taken up by Chee Choong and Samuel, both with extensive experience in the business.
Chee Choong Ng, previously the Managing Director for Taiwan, will now take charge of Human Resources for DHL Express in the Asia Pacific region. He succeeds Mateen Thiruselvaam, who retired after many years of service. Chee Choong has over 20 years of experience in DHL and the logistics industry. He joined DHL in 2004, worked in various operational roles, and became Hong Kong’s Vice President for Operations in 2017.
In recent years, Chee Choong led DHL in Hong Kong and Taiwan, starting in 2020 and 2024, respectively. During this time, he achieved record employee engagement, improved customer satisfaction, and enhanced operational excellence.
In his new role, Chee Choong will lead initiatives to make DHL Express a top employer in the region. With new technologies, changing work patterns, and evolving business needs, his expertise in employee development and engagement will help drive HR transformation across Asia Pacific.
Chee Choong Ng said, “I am honored to take on this role at such a pivotal time. The workplace is undergoing profound changes. We need to remain close to our employees to ensure their needs are met. I look forward to aligning our people strategy and creating an environment where our people can thrive, innovate, and feel valued so that we can better support business goals.”
Samuel Lee said, “Taiwan is a vibrant market with immense potential, and it holds a unique position in global trade, particularly as a hub for technology and innovation. The team has established a remarkable reputation in Taiwan, and I am proud to be working alongside them. Our focus remains on delivering exceptional service and creating new opportunities for growth to better enhance Taiwan’s role in global supply chains.”
Asia Pacific continues to grow as a major hub for global trade, supported by strong manufacturing, booming e-commerce, and fast digitalization.
