In episode four, host Shahar Silbershatz sits down with Pia Stoklund, the Global Head of Corporate Marketing and Communication at logistics powerhouse DSV.

Fresh off DSV’s massive acquisition of Schenker — doubling its workforce to 160,000 — Pia reflects on her 25-year journey through corporate communications and marketing, and how data has become a strategic cornerstone of her work.

From her early days in finance to her current role at a global logistics giant, Pia shares how data-driven insights don’t just support better decisions — they create the headspace needed for creativity, strategic clarity, and trust-building across stakeholders.
