On 1 September, Carina Tüllmann will take on the new position of Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) at the Open Logistics Foundation. With her expanded role, she will contribute to strengthening the Foundation’s management and complement the existing leadership team of Andreas Nettsträter (CEO) and Thorsten Hülsmann (CFO). Tüllmann previously served as Chief Operating Officer (COO) and has been part of the team of the European organisation based in Dortmund from the very beginning. In her new function, she will continue to be responsible for the Foundation’s strategic communications as well as the further development of community management. In addition, she will assume responsibility for human resources development and business development – two central areas for the further growth and professionalisation of the organisation.
“I am convinced that we need to rethink communications in the open source world,” explains Carina Tüllmann. “It is not the individual solution that is at the forefront, but the collective process, the people behind it and the open discourse. My goal is to make this dynamic visible both within the industry and beyond.”
In her new role, Tüllmann will intensify dialogue with the member companies and the open source community. The focus will be on active community management, the expansion of international networks, and the continuous integration of new partners to advance open source solutions across company boundaries. In her previous role as COO, she accompanied numerous central projects: from the digital consignment note (eCMR) to the initiation of new Working Groups, such as the one on decarbonisation of logistics.
“Openness, trust and genuine participation are the keys to the digital transformation of our industry,” emphasises Tüllmann. “The role of CCO gives me the opportunity to anchor these values even more firmly in the community and throughout the entire network.”
