Central Africa
Veronique Ebenye Epangue has been appointed to lead the team in Cameroon, and Alassane Mare, CEO, DHL Global Forwarding, Central Africa, will take on the additional responsibility as country manager for Gabon.
Mare said: “Collectively, Gabon and Cameroon form the largest economies in Central Africa with real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth poised to stay at about 3.5% this year if measures to contain covid-19 is fruitful.
“Appointing DHL veteran Veronique to lead the team in Cameroon whilst I focus on developing our business in Gabon could not come at a better time,”. “I’m confident that we have the best teams in place to continue serving the needs of our customers.”
Mare has been with the Deutsche Post DHL Group (DPDHL Group) for approximately 20 years, of which he spent more than a decade with DHL Global Forwarding across various functions such as sales, operations, as well as airfreight and ocean freight product teams.
Epangue joined DPDHL Group in 1999 as a trainee at DHL Express, before climbing the ranks across customer service and sales. In 2009, she joined DHL Global Forwarding as a sales executive, and rose to become the Head of Sales and Customer Service by 2016.

Both of them will report to Egidio Monteiro, CEO, DHL Global Forwarding (Southern Africa). Monteiro said, “The countries in Southern Africa have been on a good growth trajectory, with GDP per capita on the rise in the last few years.
