Georg Maurer Drives the Further Development of Alpensped

The logistics service provider Alpensped has strengthened its personnel. Since the beginning of October, Georg Maurer has been working in the newly created position of Strategic Business Developer at the medium-sized family business. His goal is to identify short-term optimization potentials and implement improvements.

(Mannheim) The world is changing: customer requirements are evolving, and innovative technologies are opening up new business opportunities. Those who want to stay ahead in the future must adapt their working methods, structures, and habits to the new conditions. “We wanted to entrust this extremely important task to competent hands, which is why we brought Georg Maurer on board,” explains Alpensped Managing Director Christian Faggin. This is within the framework of a newly created position of Strategic Business Developer. “This allows Georg Maurer to drive the further development of Alpensped with full concentration and energy,” Faggin points out.

To achieve this, the new Strategic Business Developer will first take a close look at various departments, including Human Resources, Sales, IT, as well as operational services and all company processes. This way, he will get to know the company in detail and can drive the strategic direction based on this knowledge. The goal is to identify short-term optimization potentials and implement improvements. “We want to specifically remove obstacles that slow us down in our daily work,” emphasizes Faggin. In the long term, Maurer is to strategically develop the company to prepare Alpensped for future challenges and to develop new market opportunities.

High Adaptability is an Advantage in Today’s Time

For this task, Georg Maurer brings the necessary skills: he has already gained extensive experience in the logistics industry, including in various management positions. Most recently, he worked for four years at Schenker Deutschland AG. Before that, Maurer was involved with Movianto and trans-o-flex, and was active for Kühne & Nagel in Australia. Additionally, the 37-year-old has the required academic foundation: in 2014, he successfully completed his studies at the Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule (RWTH) Aachen with a Master of Science in Logistics and Supply Chain Management. Georg Maurer is returning to his roots, as he also comes from a family business background and looks forward to the quick and short decision-making processes of the medium-sized company. “This high adaptability is a great advantage in today’s fast-paced world and will absolutely benefit the further development of Alpensped,” says Georg Maurer.
