Guillaume ANDRIEU

I had the chance to benefit from Benjamin’s experience and advises when he was Chief Operations Officer of AMT Group. Open-minded, easy-going but with a demanding professional character, Benjamin is a results oriented Marine & Logistics specialist. His strong analytical skills and risks management mindset make him a very appreciated support in issues anticipation and/or intricate problems solving. I strongly believe that his knowledges and skills will be a true asset to any company facing Logistics and Supply-Chain challenges.
