As a way of introducing yourself , can you start off by telling us a bit about your career and your journey to finding yourself with PwC ?
I was exposed to global supply chains at an early age . My father was a mariner on large cargo ships travelling the world . Growing up , I would visit my dad ’ s vessel when it was in port in the Netherlands . I also had the opportunity to join him on board on a trip from Rotterdam to Japan . I experienced the magnitude of global supply chains first hand pulling into a port , watching containers being offloaded and then quickly moving on to the next port of call . I was hooked ! I studied Systems Engineering with a focus on supply chain operations and logistics . In my first job , I implemented factory scheduling systems and developed operations simulation models . I then transitioned into operations consulting
