The WACO System, a global network of independent freight forwarders, recently conducted its annual general meeting in Athens, Greece. During this event, Duarte Rocha was elected to the executive board. Rocha is the managing director of Extra Transportes Internacionais Lda, which has represented WACO in Portugal since 1984. His extensive history and familiarity within the network were highlighted as key factors in his appointment.
For freight forwarders and logistics professionals, changes in the leadership of global networks like WACO can signal shifts in strategic direction or enhanced collaboration opportunities. As a network focused on air cargo, a new board member could influence service offerings, partner collaborations, or regional focus, potentially impacting routing options and service quality for members and their clients.
