Bio
Luc Pollaris
When Kris started up the Carrefour supply chain he had the perfect mix to makes this a success. His vision, passion and energy made that moved quick and for the first-time supply chain actions became visible. Working in his dynamic team was fun.
Daniel Gerard
In times of strong changes, Kris revealed to be a General Manager who offers his unconditional support to his team and makes it benefit from both his strong hard and soft competencies. I have personally learned a lot from his well above-average expertise in retail and supply chain, especially warehousing and transportation in my case. His broad experience in people, union and client management as well as in transformation and change management was also an invaluable asset to me. His excellent interpersonal and communication skills have allowed him to develop top class working relationships with his people. In that, he demonstrated to be a very good team builder across different personalities, profiles and cultures. I will remember Kris as an excellent General Manager with a strong vision and high objectives who is result-oriented, gets the job done, supports his people and help them meet their targets.
