Experience
Managing Director
Aug 2025 — Present · TN, US
As a founder of Refresh Global Logistics, I set out to build a modern freight forwarder that delivers what matters most - reliability, communication, and accountability.My career in logistics has taught me that success in global trade depends on relationships and transparency as much as it does on rates and transit times. Refresh reflects that philosophy - a smarter, more personal approach to international shipping.Refresh your supply chain. Rethink what’s possible.
