With 25 years of experience building global relationships in the automotive supply chain, I have developed a unique and valuable network across vehicle manufacturers, tier suppliers, logistics service providers (LSPs), governments, and industry associations.
As the founder of Automotive Logistics and Finished Vehicle Logistics magazines, as well as the Automotive Logistics global events series, I have spent decades facilitating high-level discussions, uncovering industry trends, and connecting the right people at the right time.
Now, through LConnect, I offer independent advisory services to support business growth, strategic decision-making, and valuable industry connections.
