Previously Managing Director of the company's North Asia cluster, he will commence his new role on March 1.
CEVA has identified LCL as a key product for development in the coming months and Schmidt's extensive experience in the logistics industry makes him ideally qualified to take on this newly created role.
Schmidt joined CEVA in early 2018, following a wide-ranging career with a number of leading industry players, including senior positions in Scandinavia, Dubai, Sydney and Hong Kong. For the last year, he was based in the Philippines.
In his new role, Schmidt will have full responsibility for all LCL products within CEVA and he will seek to drive further innovation across both existing and new markets. This will include digitisation of the LCL product to ensure constant yield improvement.
