What do you enjoy most about being in the logistics industry?
I really enjoy that we work with every industry. You become an expert in logistics, but then you also become a jack of all trades in other areas. I can talk about fashion, finance, and fine arts all day.
Now, with the team I manage, we did a lot of manufacturing for electronic cars and components. Dealing with that stuff, you see a lot of new trends and emerging technologies.
We deal with really cool customers like Tesla. We helped SpaceX ship Starlink over to Poland, and then they shipped it to Ukraine when that was happening. That was really cool to be a part of.
What I really enjoy the most is working with ancillary industries and seeing the emerging technologies that are coming up.
