About the Topic

In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, companies must strike a balance between efficiency, cost control, and sustainability. Supply chain transformation goes beyond technology; it requires a shift in the mindset of the workforce.

Walter Vermeer leads this transformation at FrieslandCampina, the second-largest exporter in the Netherlands. His strategic initiatives are focused on improving logistics performance, reducing costs, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Data-driven decision-making and artificial intelligence play a key role in aligning logistics with customer needs and increasing efficiency. Equally important is the human element: improving working conditions, building functional excellence, and encouraging sustainable practices through chain collaboration.
