Aramex announces CEO resignation and appoints Nicolas Sibuet as Acting CEO.
Summary
Aramex's CEO Othman Al-Jeda resigns, with CFO Nicolas Sibuet stepping in as Acting CEO. The transition marks a new chapter for the logistics giant.
In a significant development for Aramex PJSC, the company's Board of Directors has announced the resignation of Othman Al-Jeda, its long-serving Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO), citing personal reasons. This decision, effective April 24, 2025, marks the end of a remarkable 31-year tenure that saw Al-Jeda transform Aramex into a global logistics powerhouse.

Investors and stakeholders may view this transition with optimism. The appointment of a seasoned leader like Sibuet as Acting CEO is a strategic move that could drive further growth and innovation at Aramex. Given the company's strong market position and ongoing initiatives, this could be an opportune moment to consider a 'buy' position on Aramex shares.
