Use cases

Without logistics, our life in its current form would not be possible.

Logistics is often seen as a mere cost driver – a fatal mistake. We need logistics because without it, life as we know it would not be possible. But it is also clear that we need to make it more sustainable in order to leave a better world for future generations.
That's what I want to do. By combining my logistics expertise, industry experience and cutting-edge technology, I am able to translate ideas and solutions from one industry to another.

Here is a selection of my experience in various industries. These are only projects I have been personally involved in.
