Ruhan AYSEN
Purchasing Manager
Weston,FL
Summary
Considering my more than 15 years of supply chain experience, I can say that I have sharp experience in logistics and purchasing. In addition, I have managed to bring my career to the top in this field with my master's degree in Logistics.
To elaborate a little in my opinion, it is not right to think of logistics only as import and export. Having experience in the field of project transportation is a value that is not found much in the sector. To give an example, in my last workplace, I experienced the pleasure of delivering very large machine equipment to the site before the planned time by using multimodal transport methods. This has also been an invaluable experience for my colleagues and suppliers.
I left my workplace in July 2024 and established my own Logistics company to complete the deficiencies I saw in the sector by using my experience.
