Michelle Ho becomes first female president for UPS Asia Pacific region

 Michelle Ho becomes first female president for UPS Asia Pacific region


UPS in Singapore appoints Michelle Ho as president of its Asia Pacific region. She is said to be the first female president for UPS’s Asia Pacific region. In this strategic role, Michelle will maintain UPS’s focus to drive company growth and support cross-border connectivity needs for businesses large and small.

Michelle brings nearly 30 years of experience having served in multiple leadership roles in Asia. In her previous appointment as President of UPS China, she led the implementation of strategic service and network enhancements across cities large and small.

 “Michelle brings experience to this vital role along with an immeasurable passion for the business and dedication to our customers,” said Scott Price, international president for UPS. “Michelle has a clear vision for business growth and a solid track record of leading UPS to make strategic investments that reinforce our commitment to deliver the best logistics experience for our customers in Asia. With Michelle at the helm, we will continue to build the innovative digital experience powered by a global smart logistics network that our customers expect. Michelle’s customer-first mindset is central to what will propel the business in a region expected to drive strong demand.”

She also drove digital transformation efforts that enabled Chinese businesses to adjust to new demands, help optimize their supply chains, and accelerate global growth – even in the face of a pandemic.

“Asia Pacific is on an upward growth trajectory and the pandemic has driven increased demands and opportunities for e-commerce, healthcare and international trade,” said Michelle Ho. “As an enabler of global trade, UPS has the capacity to support this demand and allow businesses to plug into one of the world’s largest air networks to get their packages to the right place, at the right time. I’m excited to work with the capabilities and talent of a cross-functional team of logistics experts to deliver faster speed to market and stronger intra-Asia and intercontinental connections.”
