I am Sabine Mueller, the CEO of DHL Consulting. DHL Consulting is the independent strategic supply chain and management consultancy of Deutsche Post DHL Group, employing 100 consultants globally. I have been dedicated to the logistics sector for more than two decades.
The logistics industry is highly complex, dynamic and innovative. Over the years, I held various positions in strategy, corporate organization and consulting. Together with my team, I guide global logistics leaders and their customers to effectively tackle and overcome supply chain and logistics challenges. As leaders, we cannot ignore the severe transformational changes this field is going through, which require us to rethink the way we do business.
Beyond my logistics career, I consider the advancement of women in executive roles to be a fundamental requirement for business success. I believe encouraging diversity in perspectives and leadership styles at C-Level will undoubtedly result in better decisions. I am personally committed to help female leaders succeed and promote more diversity in management teams.
