Company: Kuehne+Nagel
Role: Reefer Sea Logistics Manager
Mark notes emotional intelligence, empathy and energy as key skills in his work in Sea Logistics at Kuehne+Nagel. He looks after a team of 35, providing them with the right support, leadership, and resources required to provide operational excellence, and best-in-class temperature controlled sea freight solutions.
Working his way up from an intern position in 2015, Mark has been able to work in a variety of positions for Kuehne+Nagel, starting in the UK, and moving to Paris in France, and then Bremen in Germany. From there, he secured the role of Manager for the Central America and Caribbean Region in Costa Rica, before moving to Panama, and in 2021 he was offered the job as Sea Logistics Reefer and Healthcare Director, reporting to the Head of FR Sea Freight.
Mark says that, more than any qualification, his skill in “getting comfortable with the uncomfortable” has really bolstered his success:
“This is our daily logistics life! Solving issues for our customers, adapting to constraints in order to help people.”
Mark believes his team have been central to his rise to Reefer Sea Freight Manager at such a young age. He really values their trust and support. Working with what he considers to be the best, most dedicated and passionate people is what makes his job so enjoyable.
