With 12 years of experience, Matt Casbolt already had a taste of international
logistics before entering EMIL in 2003. At Exel Supply Chain, a global supply
chain management firm, he is responsible for company operations in New Zealand.
Matt also led the expansion of a New Zealand 3PL into the Australia market
as Managing Director prior to its acquisition by Exel. But through EMIL, he
broadened his exposure to more cultures worldwide.
Q. How has EMIL affected your career?
A. EMIL provided me with greater insight and understanding of how supply chain
theory and practice interrelate in the context of economic, political and cultural
differences around the world. This has made me more effective at Exel. Plus,
receiving such a respected degree, from a highly recognized institution, gives
me a unique edge professionally.
Q. In what specific areas have you seen the impact of the
EMIL Program for your company?
A. I have incorporated much of what I learned at EMIL into Exel’s development
and operations processes to enhance our value offerings to existing customers – driving
new business growth for Exel.
Q. What do you consider the most valuable part of your EMIL experience?
A. The EMIL Program let us see theory in practice through the residencies. At
the same time, I had the chance to network with colleagues from every corner
of the globe and establish lasting relationships which I continue to benefit
from today. |
