Q: How long have you been working for e2open?
A: Three years, all in the Logistics as a Service (LaaS) department.
Q: Describe a typical day for you at e2open.
A: Lots of interaction with people – customer calls, carrier calls, team calls – and a little more time on a computer than my body appreciates.
Q: What is your favorite part about your job?
A: Developing reliable and anti-fragile people and systems that benefit my customers.
Q: How did you get started in the supply chain industry?
A: Years ago, I visited a friend at the Holland, MI office and got to take in the atmosphere and culture of the LaaS department. When it came time for a career change in 2021, I looked no further because of what I’d experienced, and thankfully, the supply chain industry gave me a chance.
Q: What are three things that motivate you the most in your job?
A: First, the bigger picture vision of bringing peace into the chaos of the supply chain ecosystem. Second, watching members of my team grow. Third, building lasting relationships.
Q: What’s your favorite way to unwind after a long day?
A: Either rolling around on the ground with my two daughters (5 & 3 years old) or a long run.
Q: If you had to compete in the Olympics, what sport/event would you choose and why?
A: Summer Olympics: beach volleyball because I love volleyball, especially diving without real consequence. Winter Olympics: ski jumping because flying would be amazing.
Q: Who is the most important person in your life and why?
A: My wife. She is the loveliest human I know, modeling love, honesty, service, and pursuit of others every day.
Q: Do you have any pets? If so, what are they, and what are their names?
A: No pets!
Q: What hobby are you most passionate about?
A: See answer to question 6.
