HR Expert Zulekha Joins Kale Logistics to Drive Digital Transformation

Kale Logistics Solutions (Kale) has appointed Zulekha as its new Global Chief of Human Resources (CHRO), to build and nurture the logistics tech specialist’s growing team across ten countries.

Zulekha brings over 17 years of experience in HR across industries including logistics and education tech, manufacturing, media, and IT.

She has a focus on digital HR solutions, from automating processes to using data to drive process innovation.

“Kale is an agile tech organisation, and digitisation is in our DNA, so it is natural for HR to embrace digital tools,” said Zulekha.

“Our workforce includes the new generation that requires a different level of engagement, and digitalisation will empower us to design and implement processes that will be easy and convenient to use to serve employees across diversified demographics.”

Commenting on the appointment, Rajesh Panicker, Co-Founder and COO of Kale Logistics Solutions said, “Zulekha’s appointment comes at a crucial juncture for our company as we continue to grow and consolidate our operations.”

“Her deep understanding of human capital dynamics and strategic mindset will be invaluable as we navigate the complexities of our international operations and further strengthen our position as a market leader.”

Kale is expanding its presence in the maritime sector, developing next-gen port community systems to drive digitalisation and sustainability in the sector. As a key market leader, it engages in more than 100 air cargo stations across the globe.

Zulekha is Kale’s third high-profile appointment this year as part of ongoing growth across the globe, and specifically in North America.

“Kale is in a very exciting phase of its evolution; it is a pleasure to be part of this growth journey and to be able to contribute to this success story.”

This May, Kale will host a round table discussion event called CLEAR VIEW Air Cargo in Istanbul, Turkey as part of its ongoing commitment to driving digitization across all sectors of the logistics industry.
