WCA Announces Leadership Changes

Dan March has been appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the independent forwarder network WCA, with founder David Yokeum becoming Chairman, and Ram Menen joining a new global Supervisory Board.

Based in London, March, who has been WCA Communications Director for over five years, will oversee the day-to-day operations and work closely with Yokeum and the new non-executive Supervisory Board – comprising Eric Fady, Philip Bilney, and Jim Barnhart, as well as Menen.

Yokeum, who founded WCA in 1998, will remain actively involved in overseeing the direction and strategy of the company.

Board member Ram Menen, who headed up Emirates SkyCargo for almost three decades, will bring his experience and knowledge to the WCA Board.

James Barnhart, a fully qualified CPA with a successful 40-year history in the logistics business, helped build WCA in his previous role as VP Finance and will now act as Company Treasurer.

Philip Bilney is Group Chief Executive of FP Marine Risks – Asia’s premier marine insurance broker. Bilney began his career in marine insurance at Lloyd’s of London and has worked in Asia since 1990.

Eric Fady, based in London, has fulfilled senior finance executive positions for a range of global insurance, banking and business information companies and was most recently Group CFO and Board member of Hyperion Insurance Group.

WCA membership encompasses over 6,000 member offices in 190 countries across the globe.
