Before joining the EMIL class of 2003, Omar had never studied logistics in any
systematic way. "I ran my company with intuitive knowledge," he noted. That
company, Almacenar, is the largest 3PL in the Colombian market, employing 1,000
people and providing value-added logistics services to businesses in Colombia,
Ecuador and Venezuela.
Q. Has EMIL changed how you do business?
A. Intuitive knowledge is great but it could only take us so far. EMIL provided
me with the knowledge, benchmarking capabilities and specific technical tools
for analysis, revenue management and more that have made it possible for me
to improve the company's market position significantly.
Q. How do you still benefit from having participated in EMIL?
A. Through participation in the alumni network and the EMIL Advisory Board,
I stay in touch with the many international contacts made while I was in the
Program. They continue to provide me with insight and resources, and help to
keep me on top of the latest innovations in logistics. |
