Graebel has appointed Debbie Maupin as the President of its global mobility division, Graebel Relocation Services Worldwide, Inc.

This appointment comes after the departure of President and Chief Operating Officer Tim Callahan who has accepted the CEO position at the global financial firm, Celergo. Debbie has also names her new executive management team.

Debbie has extensive experience in the relocation industry and, since 2006, has led Graebel’s operations in Atlanta, Georgia. In that role she was responsible for achieving recognition for outstanding service from its portfolio of Fortune 500 customers.

Bill Graebel remarked, "Under Tim Callahan's leadership our global mobility team was recognised for its customer-first philosophy which contributed to Graebel earning three First-place and two First runner-up Relocation Baker's Dozen awards from the HRO Today magazine in recent years; the Forum for Expatriate Management (FEM) organisation's Relocation Management Company of the Year in the Americas as well as high honours in its EMEA region in 2013; and, the Colorado Biz magazine Top Service Company in September 2013.  I have the utmost confidence that Debbie Maupin and her team will continue our award-winning record by continuing to exceed our clients' and their relocating employees' expectations worldwide."

Before joining Graebel Relocation Services Worldwide Debbie was vice president of business development at SIRVA, Inc. Earlier, she held executive positions at North American Van Lines, Inc., Allied Van Lines, Burnham, Inc., and the Beltman Group, an agent for North American.  She also owned and managed a Florida-based transportation, warehousing firm, Blair North American, for ten years.

One of Debbie’s first jobs in her new role was to name her executive management team. Bill Nemer will head up the company's global mobility centre at the World Headquarters in Denver, Colorado; Kathy Hedley will manage the relocation divisions client management team; and Bren Freeman has been promoted to Vice President of Operations for the Atlanta mobility centre.

Bill replaces Bobbie Haworth who will now look after the development and leadership of the contract management department. Kathy previously spent three years as the national sales leader.
