Message

At DP World Logistics Netherlands B.V., I prepare air and sea freight quotations and turn customer inquiries into executable logistics solutions. I analyze pricing in Power BI and draw on my operations experience to support smoother sales pipelines and client relationships.

Before moving into inside sales, I coordinated air and sea import/export flows at DP World, working with forwarders, 3PLs, and customs brokers. I also planned routes and carriers, tracked critical deadlines, and provided shipment updates.

At Kintetsu World Express (Benelux) B.V., I supervised a team of three in perishable air freight operations and maintained operational trackers in Excel. Earlier, I coordinated key account exports at Bolloré Logistics and handled multimodal freight operations at Gianesini Erminio Srl.
