Ben Asahl

I’m a National Pricing Analyst at Kuehne + Nagel, managing a portfolio of 200,000+ TEU across Europe, LATAM, and the Middle East. I ensure seamless coordination between pricing and sales teams so quotes translate into measurable business outcomes.

I’ve driven year-over-year volume growth of 15% to 57% across responsible territories through strategic pricing and performance tracking. I focus on aligning pricing strategy with customer needs while supporting internal growth.

I build decision-ready reporting—designing and implementing a performance dashboard using Pivot Tables, Power Query, and dynamic charts to deliver actionable insights on productivity and pricing impact. I also automate internal pricing rate updates using advanced Excel techniques, saving 20+ work hours monthly and improving data accuracy and turnaround time.

Before my current role, I served as a Central Area Pricing Specialist, managing global quotes ($1M–$20M) and ad-hoc quotes (225+ per month) while reducing quote turnaround times by 66%. I maintain strong quality assurance (reviews above 97%) and act as a primary liaison for multiple branches to handle urgent issues and protect key account relationships.
