Key experience

As a professional, but also as an academic, Alex’s key experience is in Supply Chain Management and Logistics. He was former partner and practice leader SCM of KPMG, a worldwide leading consultancy company. Within SCM, he has gained exceptional experience in the setup of supply chain strategies and the conception and implementation of decision support systems. Subsequently in his job as independent advisor, he was hired by major companies to supervise and to provide expert guidance for their Supply Chain strategy and logistic optimization projects, most often at the board room level. He has been responsible for the startup of the Vlaams Instituut voor de Logistiek (Flanders Institute for Logistics). Between 2003 and 2008 he was the managing director of that institute. Alex is also the inventor of the Extended Gateway® concept. It’s a innovative and powerful concept for regions with natural advantages for European distribution. The idea and the challenge behind the concept is the creation of additional logistics prime locations (i.e. minimal total cost locations) for added value logistics along the vertices of the integrated multimodal hinterland network. All provinces in Flanders are currently applying this concept for the identification of their logistics hotspots. As entrepreneur, Alex has founded and is currently leading the disruptive innovation TRI-VIZOR, the World’s First Cross Supply Chain Orchestrator. In 2014, he was awarded the price of Logistics and Supply Chain Professional of the year by the European Logistics Association (www.elalog.eu).
