Denis Coumert Denis Choumert (pictured right), chairman of the European Shippers’ Council (ESC), has been appointed to The International Air Cargo Association (TIACA) Board of directors.

Choumert has held high-level operational roles in engineering and project management, as well as procurement, transport and logistics with both the Technip and Italcementi Groups in a career spanning over two decades.

He was appointed ESC chairman in 2012 and holds director level appointments on several other Transport Associations.

“Representing the end customers of the air freight industry, I am committed to working with all partners to make air freight more attractive to my constituents as well as more efficient, safer, and more environmentally friendly,” said Choumert.

Choumert joins the Board just three months after TIACA formed a Shippers’ Advisory Council, giving shippers from a cross-section of industries a forum to raise concerns and discuss challenges with all sectors of the air cargo community. He will be taking part in a panel discussion on Multimodal Opportunities and Challenges in Europe, chaired by TIACA’s ex vice chairman Enno Osinga at the Air Cargo Forum (ACF) in Paris, France this October.

The panel is part of three days of panels and workshops from October the 26th to 28th at the Porte de Versailles in Paris, France, focusing on issues including Disruptive Innovation, the new EU Customs Code and e-freight.
