About Niels

For 33 years now, I have been working in logistics in leading positions, with a strong entrepreneurial focus, always globally for leading companies and as a service provider for top brands in the HiTech, Consumer Electronics, Fashion, Beauty, and Lifestyle sectors... but also for many eCommerce startups.

I know the market, the processes, and the requirements of your customers and help as a consultant, coach, or interim manager when it comes to logistics.

My field ranges from strategy consulting to warehouse operations.
