Lee Spratt tapped to lead DHL Global Mail - Americas

Weston, Florida—October 10, 2008—Deutsche Post World Net has announced the appointment of Lee Spratt to the position of President & Chief Executive Officer of DHL Global Mail’s Americas division. Spratt was promoted from Senior Vice President of the Domestic Business Unit to succeed Joe Phelan, who became CEO of DHL Global Mail effective October 1.

“I am fortunate to work with such a tremendous group of people here at DHL Global Mail - Americas, and it is an honor to be asked to lead them,” Spratt said. “I am delighted to accept this new challenge as we move forward with our strategic initiatives and continue to strengthen our marketplace leadership.”

During his more than four years at DHL Global Mail - Americas, Spratt has risen steadily through the division’s upper ranks. He arrived in 2004 from QuikPak when that company was merged with two others, Deutsche Post Global Mail and SmartMail, to form DHL Global Mail. To facilitate this integration, Spratt was responsible for developing and implementing a transition plan as Vice President of Channel Sales.

Spratt later served as Vice President of Information Technology and then Senior Vice President of Customer Solutions, which includes IT and Customer Service. After he became Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, the Americas division experienced double-digit revenue growth from 2006 to 2007. He was named Senior Vice President of the Domestic Business Unit in July 2008.

“Since joining our company, Lee has succeeded in key positions where his leadership has been essential to our business growth,” Phelan said. “His extensive management background and specialized knowledge of our operations make him well positioned to guide our Americas division into the future.”

Before joining QuikPak in 2003, Spratt held upper-management positions at CheckFree Corporation — the leading provider of electronic bill presentment and payment — and AT&T and Lucent Technologies.
