GXO Logistics Strengthens Leadership with Appointment of Roberto Pascual as Managing Director in Spain and Portugal

In a press release dated June 3, 2026, Paul Mohan, President of Continental Europe at GXO, expressed enthusiasm regarding Pascual's appointment. "The appointment of Roberto Pascual marks an exciting new chapter in our pursuit of operational excellence, commercial expansion, and technology-driven innovation," Mohan stated. His confidence in Pascual's ability to drive growth is rooted in the latter's extensive experience in the logistics industry.

Roberto Pascual joins GXO with more than 25 years of experience in contract logistics. His previous role at DHL Supply Chain, where he served in various senior leadership capacities for two decades, notably as Managing Director for Spain and Portugal, positions him as a seasoned expert in the field. This rich background in key vertical markets will be instrumental as GXO aims to enhance its service offerings and deepen its customer relationships.

Pascual's appointment comes on the heels of a successful tenure by Rui Marques, who led GXO's Iberian operations for over two decades. Under Marques' leadership, the company achieved consistent double-digit growth, expanded its operational footprint, and forged strong partnerships with top-tier clients. His departure from the managing director role is not an exit but rather a transition to a strategic position leading one of GXO’s key global customer accounts.

Mohan remarked on the significant impact of Marques' leadership, emphasizing that his experience will continue to benefit the company in his new role. "Rui Marques now begins an exciting new journey within the group, taking on the leadership of one of GXO’s key global customer accounts," said Mohan, highlighting the importance of leveraging established expertise to foster innovation and enhance customer value on a global scale.

GXO stands as a leader in e-commerce logistics within Spain, boasting an impressive infrastructure that includes 50 distribution centers across Spain and Portugal. The company manages operations for several top-tier clients in diverse sectors such as e-commerce, retail, fashion, food and beverage, technology, and automotive. With a workforce exceeding 8,500 employees and 1.5 million square meters of logistics space—featuring the largest logistics facility in Europe located in Guadalajara—GXO is well-equipped to meet the growing demands of the logistics sector.

The company has earned recognition from Forbes for six consecutive years as one of the Best Companies to Work for in Spain, further cementing its reputation as an employer of choice in the logistics industry.

As the logistics landscape continues to evolve, GXO Logistics, Inc. is poised to capitalize on the rapid growth of e-commerce, automation, and outsourcing. With over 150,000 team members across more than 1,000 facilities and a total footprint exceeding 200 million square feet, GXO is strategically positioned to solve complex logistics challenges for leading blue-chip companies.

With Roberto Pascual at the helm of operations in Spain and Portugal, the company is set to enhance its growth trajectory and deepen its commitment to delivering exceptional value to customers. As GXO embarks on this new chapter, stakeholders and clients alike will be watching closely to see how this leadership transition unfolds in the months and years to come.
