Stefan Hohm, CDO of Dachser SE, receives STILL Logistics Leader of the Year Award

Stefan Hohm represents a management team that believes in the opportunities offered by digital transformation, making targeted use of modern technologies to increase logistics efficiency and future-proof the industry. As chief development officer at Dachser, he has firmly embedded his convictions within the corporate structure over the past few years. In close collaboration with the management board, he has driven the consistent implementation of a practical digitalisation strategy. Customer benefit is always the top priority. Dachser projects such as real-time mapping of an entire warehouse using the digital twin @ILO, and live tracking of swap bodies to improve dispatch efficiency, are Hohm's brainchild. In collaboration with renowned research institutes, he is dedicated to creating AI-, machine learning- and big data-based solutions to enhance the efficiency of logistics.
In addition to enhancing Dachser's international competitiveness, the Logistics Hall of Fame jury recognised Hohm's significant contributions to the digital transformation and modernisation of the entire logistics industry. According to the jury, he exemplifies a management philosophy that views change as an opportunity rather than a threat, and he has set new standards together with his team.

Supporting innovation, giving innovators a platform

"Innovation and change can only be successfully and sustainably implemented in companies if they are embraced by everyone. This requires a common understanding of the necessary steps and the willingness to implement them consistently and at all levels. Stefan Hohm and his team have achieved this in an outstanding manner.”
