ABOUT JAMES STANGE

With over fifteen years of work experience in the international shipping industry, I am a passionate and driven logistics professional.My core competencies include assessing global logistics processes, conducting high-scale customer meetings, sales operations, pricing, capacity/allocation management, and budgeting. My mission is to provide the best solutions for my clients\' global trade needs, ideally leveraging global logistics companies\' innovative technology and network. I thrive in a dynamic and collaborative environment, where I can bring my diverse perspectives and experiences to the team and learn from others.In my most recent role at Forto, I was responsible for managing and developing key accounts across various industries and regions, ensuring customer satisfaction, retention, and loyalty. I also negotiated contracts, monitored performance, identified opportunities, and resolved escalation issues. Some of the skills that I used and improved on a daily basis were communication, negotiation, problem-solving, analytical and interpersonal skills. Prior to joining Forto, I worked as an Agency Trade Manager at CMA CGM and a Key-Account-Manager at APL, where I gained valuable in-depth experience and knowledge in the ocean freight market, especially Asia to Europe, but also in the Transpacific, Intra Asian, and Latin American markets.
