Bogdan Damian

Logistics manager at Aptiv France
About

I'm a logistics manager with a passion for operational excellence. With over 19 years of experience in the industry, I've owned my skills in team management, inventory control, and budget management. My journey in logistics began with my fascination for how goods and services move from point A to point B. I've since worked my way up the ladder, gaining valuable experience in various roles. From coordinating shipments to optimizing supply chain processes, I've done it all! As a people-oriented leader, I believe in empowering my team to reach their full potential. My experience in working with people from different backgrounds has taught me the value of cross-cultural communication and adaptability. I'm a hands-on manager who isn't afraid to roll up my sleeves and get things done. I thrive in high-pressure situations and have a keen eye for detail, ensuring smooth operations at all times. I'm always on the lookout for new opportunities to challenge myself and grow both personally and professionally.
