Bio
Chris worked directly for three years at DKSH. He led my Centre of Excellence for distribution operations and was a member of my senior leadership team. Chris and I worked closely on developing the supply chain strategy and I always appreciated Chris's insight, industry knowledge, and ability to outline a path of change. He has also developed strong project leadership skills and is adept at keeping on top of complex change and ensuring that projects progress to plan to deliver the result targeted. Chris also possesses strong commercial acumen and could be relied on to drive a good deal with our external partners whether that be for operational services or a development solution. Chris proved to be a highly committed, driven leader, that always showed great loyalty to me and the business. He is a polished in person communicator that has a very natural engaging style that exudes confidence.
I worked with Chris in a number of automation and digitalization projects and we also managed one or the other crisis together. I experienced Chris as a fast-thinking, forward-looking person with a great affinity for technology and someone who strives for simplification in processes. I highly appreciated the way Chris engaged and how he thinks out-of-the-box. I also always enjoyed to catch up with Chris after work to reflect on new ideas over a good glas of wine and a good piece of meat.
