Impressive turnaround story under Eli’s leadership. Curious to see ZIM’s next strategic move from here.
"Today, ZIM’s Board of Directors was informed by Eli Glickman of his decision to step down as President & CEO. Eli will continue to serve in his role over the next six months to support a smooth and orderly transition.
When Eli joined ZIM nine years ago, he did so with a clear sense of purpose – believing in the Company, its people, and its potential to become a stronger, more innovative, and more resilient global player. Together, that vision became reality.
Over these years, ZIM delivered an extraordinary turnaround, achieving results that were, at times, unprecedented for the Company and restoring pride in the ZIM name across the industry. This success belongs to our people – colleagues across the globe who demonstrate professionalism, determination, and heart every single day.
We thank Eli for his leadership, dedication, and significant contribution to ZIM’s journey. He will remain fully committed throughout the notice period to ensuring continuity, stability, and a seamless transition, while supporting the Board and leadership team as ZIM prepares for its next chapter."
