Forto (formerly FreightHub)

Implementation Manager

ItsMyCargo is a young LogTech-Startup with focus on real-time quotation and online freight booking. As a working student, I'm supporting the operations team with my industry-insights from mostly the national and international LCL industry. I was directly reporting to the COO and was responsible for the customer implementation from  Kickoff to Launch of the customers. During this process, I've coordinated customer requests and formed the link between business development, tech and operations.

Working Student & Full-Time Intern

During my three months trainee-program in Singapore, I gathered my firstexperience in Business Strategy Management and acquired a good overview ofthe growing Asian logistics market. I worked alongside the Head of BusinessStrategy and Development at DHL Global Forwarding Asia Pacific. I challenged myself a lot in analyzing the financial performance of the countries in our sub-region and recognizing financial potential.Drawing up trade lanes, market shares and sector analysis for Vietnam, Indonesia and thePhilippines in Air- and Ocean freight with key focus on European trade lanes to emphasizegrowth potential for the sales teams, gave me a deep dive on the SSEA logistics market.Working and living in Singapore was a great experience and challenge for my professional and personal development.

Strategy & Business Development Trainee

DHL is number one in the efficient co-ordination and movement of freight worldwide.Through its diversity and worldwide network, I've been able to work on different projects in the German and Global Organisation. I've got deep insights on the domestic road freight market in Germany (Operations, Finance & Sales), Supply Chain Management in the Automotive Sector (BMW), Tradelane Management between Asia and Europe (DGF) and Revenue Management for the global organisation.My bachelor thesis on " Increase of Revenue through volume and weight controls of shipments in the general cargo network of DHL Freight" has helped to introduce a process that increases revenue up to six figures without causing large operational bottlenecks.
