- Inspire and lead diverse international teams to achieve operational excellence and cost leadership.
- Optimize container fleet, port, depot, and vessel operations to meet both cost and service standards, exceeding customer expectations.
- Foster a culture of accountability, driving decision-making through data-driven insights and business needs.
- Oversee Maintenance and Repair (M&R) activities and ensure smooth operations across all divisions.
- Manage group-wide procurement and the appointment of key third-party vendors, including stevedores, depots, trucking, and M&R providers.
- Champion continuous improvement and innovation across all logistics and operations functions.
