The challenge of solving new logistics and supply chain challenges always excites me. My long term goal is to develop high performing food, healthcare and consumer goods supply chains with new business models and technologies. The best way to achieve this is to develop a firm foundation in supply chain processes and technologies. I am always learning continuously with an open and curious mind. Besides learning more about supply chains and logistics, I am also very interested in travelling and playing tennis! :)
