In accordance with his school of thought, logistics operations should be automated for better decision-making. He believed that implementing and fully utilizing modern-day tools would help automate the work process and make daily tasks easier. Besides, he thinks that it also increases employee productivity and helps foster strategic alliances with logistics partners for the convenience of carrying out shipments on a daily basis. For this, he strives to choose individuals who are familiar with the analysis and complexities of such resources. He believes that, though the freight field is dynamic, it is possible to swiftly spot changes by staying up to date with market conditions. In order to immediately take advantage of spot rates or bargain for lower rates with carriers, the organization should position itself to include flexibility in its rate procurement process. And that is why his journey boasts of his strategic efforts toward elevating the Shipping and Logistics sector to new heights.
With more than 22 years of extensive proficiency in numerous assignments, he dawns excellent communication, exceptional problem-solving skills, a finesse in leadership aptitude, and in-depth knowledge of the logistics industry, all of which sets him apart from the rest of the shipping and logistics fraternity crowd.
