Crown Worldwide Group, a privately owned, global logistics company, has appointed Jennifer Harvey as Group CEO.
The announcement follows Ken Madrid’s decision to retire following a career spanning 47 years, with more than 32 years as a senior executive at Crown Worldwide Group.
He spent many of those years as a senior board member, including as global CFO and CEO for Asia-Pacific, and was appointed Group CEO in January 2019 – successfully steering the company through the pandemic and the economic challenges that followed.
Jim Thompson, Chairman & Founder, Crown Worldwide Group, said: “We are most grateful to Ken for his three decades of service. Since joining as Chief Financial Officer in 1991, he has worked tirelessly with our teams around the world, to analyse business issues and make good decisions that have helped our brands grow steadily over the years. I’m very thankful for his excellent contribution to our development which has led Crown to becoming one of the leading companies in our industry.”
Jennifer – who steps into the role with immediate effect – joined Crown in 1993 from investment bank Shearson Lehman Brothers.
