Mondiale VGL has announced the appointment of Matthew Warrington as group chief executive, effective January 2026.
His appointment follows an extensive global search and marks an important next phase for the Oceania-based transport and logistics provider, which operates across 19 markets worldwide.
Warrington brings more than 30 years’ international logistics and supply-chain experience to Mondiale VGL and its customers, including senior leadership roles with some of the sector’s most recognised organisations.
He joins Mondiale VGL from Toll Group, where as president of global forwarding he led 2500 people across 29 countries and managed more than US$2.3 billion in annual revenue. His earlier career includes executive roles with Linfox, Visy Logistics, GrainCorp, and BevChain, as well as five years as a partner and director with Boston Consulting Group.
Mondiale VGL chair Justine Smyth said: “Matthew is a highly respected industry leader with a proven track record of driving growth and delivering customer-focused solutions across large and complex global logistics operations.
“His commercial insight and deep understanding of what drives performance will further strengthen how we help our customers compete and succeed in today’s market.
“He brings operational discipline and an international perspective that will build on the strong platform already in place and position Mondiale VGL well for the opportunities ahead.”
Warrington said: “The company’s progress over the past several years has been remarkable. I’m looking forward to working with the board and leadership team to continue building on that success – strengthening our network, expanding our footprint, enhancing our customer offering, and creating new opportunities for our people.”
Warrington is based in Australia and will operate from Mondiale VGL’s Sydney office while maintaining a regular presence at Mondiale VGL’s New Zealand headquarters and across the global network.
This leadership transition follows the decision by Ray Meade to move into a senior commercial role within the business after 16 years with Mondiale VGL – including 10 years as CEO.
Smyth said: “Ray’s leadership has been instrumental in shaping Mondiale VGL into the global business it is today.
“We’re delighted Ray will continue to play an active role in the business and we thank him for his outstanding commitment and leadership over many years.”
