“I am impressed by what has already been built up here in Bor. When I started here, I immediately felt that LOXXESS doesn’t just function as a company, but as a lively network of people who are passionate about logistics together. This passion for efficient, customized solutions and the constant will to improve – that’s what motivates me,” says Jahoda about his start.
LOXXESS AG, a medium-sized logistics service provider headquartered in Tegernsee, has appointed Jahoda as the new Managing Director in Bor to manage the operational business. This is not just about management, but above all about a deep commitment to the processes that make contract logistics a success factor for everyone involved. Jahoda assumes responsibility for a demanding customer segment where quality and efficiency are paramount.
“I am looking forward to building on the strong foundation we have created here. It is precisely these challenges in contract logistics that drive me every day,” explains Jahoda. “Working with so many talented and dedicated colleagues makes this job particularly exciting.”
With 14 years of experience in leading logistics positions, Jahoda has acquired in-depth specialist knowledge. He now uses his ability to understand and optimize complex logistics processes for the benefit of LOXXESS. Previously, he managed Tech Data’s largest logistics and equipment center in Europe and was General Manager at Sony DADC Czech Republic. Most recently, he ran the consulting company Resultful in Pilsen before joining LOXXESS to take over responsibility in Bor.
“The expertise that Petr brings to the management of LOXXESS is enormously valuable. We are convinced that with his deep understanding of the logistics industry and his passion for continuous improvement, he will continue to drive our ambitions forward,” explains Lars Gutermuth, member of the LOXXESS AG Management Board.
In his free time, Jahoda also puts his heart and soul into his work: whether long-distance cycling, alpine skiing or swimming – the Managing Director also lives by the principle of endurance and dedication in his free time. It is precisely these qualities that he will continue to incorporate into his work and thus make a lasting contribution to the continuous development of LOXXESS.
“For me, contract logistics means more than just processes – it’s about creating solutions that make a difference. Fulfilling this task with such a dynamic team and such a forward-looking company as LOXXESS is a real pleasure,” concludes Jahoda.
