Paul Wolter becomes CEO of Boxxport

Most recently, he worked for the German Startups Association. Now he is to manage the container marketplace. The founders remain on board as advisors.

Paul Wolter has a new job. With immediate effect, he has joined the Hamburg-based container specialist Boxxport as Managing Director. He takes over the position from founder Jan Frahnert. He will remain operationally active in the company until the end of the year. After that, Frahnert and co-founder Willem-Alexander Dous will remain on board as consultants.

Boxxport was originally created as a digitalization project of the Lotus Containers Group, a company from the container services industry based near Hamburg. The start-up was conceived as a B2B marketplace for containers and was spun off as a separate company before its launch in July 2019. Since then, it has been independent and, according to its own information, is growing steadily.

Wolter will be responsible for driving the start-up's growth in future. Wolter previously worked at the German Start-ups Association, where he started as a communications manager after completing his studies and most recently held the title of Director Public Affairs and Communications.
