Szabolcs Gall, the former Chief Legal Officer of Tesco Hungary, has moved to Waberer's International, where he will hold the position of Chief Strategic Officer.
Prior to the move, Gall had been with Tesco for little over 2 and a half years. Before joining the retailer in 2011, he was the Chief Legal Officer & General Counsel of Invitel between 2009 and 2011, preceded by half a year spent with General Electric as Senior Counsel. Gall spent 8 years with the Budapest office of Clifford Chance before moving in-house.
With a fleet of more than 3,000 truck-trailers, Waberer’s International is a Central and Eastern European-focused logistics company, originally founded in Hungary in 1948 as the Volan Tefu State Company. In 2011, Mid Europa Partners purchased 49.05 per cent share in the Waberer's Holding Logistics, Volan Tefu's legal successor as of 2004. As of March 1, 2012, four companies of Waberer’s Group – Waberer’s International, Delta Sped, Interszervíz, and Inforatio – merged with Waberer’s Holding to form Waberer’s International.
