Marcel Schulze
I have been working in warehouse logistics since 2000. It all began in the chemical industry, where I first started dealing with dangerous goods. After 14 years, I spent a year deepening my expertise at a management consultancy, working as an external dangerous goods safety adviser. For the past two years, I have served as the dangerous goods safety adviser for one German and two Swiss warehouses. Alongside my work, I completed further training to become a qualified freight forwarding specialist and a business economist (FS) specializing in logistics.
