SIRVA Appoints New President of Relocation Solutions — Asia Pacific

“Asia Pacific is an important strategic growth area for SIRVA,” said Brian Kelley, SIRVA’s president and chief executive officer. “Allen’s extensive cross-functional experience in the Asia Pacific region for the past 15 years makes him the ideal person for this position. His deep understanding of Asian cultures, economies and business practices should help us grow our business in the region and helps position SIRVA for continued success globally.”

Chan began his career in the U.S. with GE’s Aerospace Business as a design engineer in 1979. He quickly progressed through GE’s ranks, and in 1989 moved to Taiwan to establish a joint venture between GE Aerospace and Mitac Group of Taiwan, serving as its president. In 1992, he took on a regional leadership assignment as managing director, Asia Pacific, of GE’s Industrial & Control Systems Business, with headquarters in Singapore.

Chan has a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Massachusetts — Lowell, and a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

“I am excited to become a part of the dynamic, global team at SIRVA,” Chan said. “There are many possibilities for growth in the Asia Pacific region and I look forward to helping SIRVA identify opportunities that will help the company better serve the needs of its international customers. I am enthusiastic about working with a first-rate team and our network of service providers to deliver unparalleled service to our corporate clients whenever and wherever they require it.”

Kevin Pickford will continue in his role as managing director of Moving Services – Asia Pacific, reporting to Chan.
