Women Empowering Women in Logistics

In the midst of vessel capacity allocations 🚢and shipping routes pricing, life brought me my first female mentor Kornelia Tiede while on my very first internship.

Besides demonstrating excellent know-how abilities within the shipping industry, she taught me that people could be both strong and disciplined 💪 while also remaining kind and nurturing.

Now, thinking back, with us being part of a group of young women, I believe she was attempting to protect our hashtag#authenticity and provide us with a feeling of hashtag#belonging in the sometimes-daunting business world.

I was not fully aware of just how big her achievements were 20 years back, having led a business unit in a foreign country for over a decade, especially considering that only 5 out of 100 hashtag#women occupied leading executive positions at the time. She was part of that 5%!🤯

I want to express my hashtag#gratitude towards her and the people that made my internship possible at Hapag-Lloyd Miami, which finally introduced me to my very first chapter in Supply Chain in the best possible way! 🙏

I wish only the best mentors for every young person in their early career steps. It’s now up to us to stay hashtag#empowering those around us and keep paying it forward.

Do you remember your first mentor?
