Adel Hackovic
@adelhackovic
I build lasting customer partnerships through sea logistics sales and consulting.
What I'm looking for
I've built customer relationships across sea logistics, import/export operations, and sales at Kühne + Nagel, Glomm Logistics, and Friedrich W. Goosmann. At Kühne + Nagel, I acquired a key account with annual volume of 1,200 TEU and trained colleagues on KN seaexplorer.
I combine consultative sales with hands-on supply-chain knowledge, from coordinating import processes and maintaining CRM data to developing sales strategies, upselling, and advising new and existing customers. I also led and organized an import sea-freight department, including new-business acquisition in life science and pharma.
Most recently, I advised public-sector clients at Vellow Consulting on IT strategy, procurement, tender design, and best-value evaluations. I'm continuing my International Management degree while developing my Spanish and embracing new cultural experiences.
