Now, he continues to redefine supply chain best practices that positively impact both long and short-term investment strategies of leading companies and is seen as a trusted advisor to his customers. We congratulate both Jorge and Arif for their achievements and being recognized by Food Logistics for leadership in the F&B industry.”
