Bio
Ed Kugler
Jeff and I worked together for some time at Frito Lay and he is a professional, had an ability to expand his knowledge and horizons, learned the logistics business quickly and is great with people. He went on to Senior positions elsewhere and I am not surprised. He is the real deal and it was my pleasure to be associated with him. He will get it done and not leave bodies in his wake.
Deb Scarpace, MBA, CSCP
Thorough, up-beat, passionate, customer-service oriented and a great partner to have from the supply chain discipline, especially if you are sitting in a sales organization!
