"There are professionals who are waiting to be discovered ... The ideal candidate is the one that is imprinted in the mind of the seeker. This ideal does not exist in reality ... there is no such thing as the 100% perfect candidate." Cosmin Voicu, Donau Consult Group CEE

Decebal Popescu, Senior Consultant, Transport Academy & Gabriel Sîrbu, CEO East & Iberia, Trans.eu

"If you accept that things will change and that what you are doing today may be completely obsolete tomorrow, in a year, in ten years ... you will be training yourself to always look for solutions, to always be aware of what it happening around you and of course, in learning from the people in your team." Gabriel Sîrbu

Adriana Pălășan, Supply Chain Management Center & Irina Mincinopschi, Depanero

"In essence, at some point for an innovative idea you have to stop analyzing and take the risk that you will do that thing." - Irina Mincinopschi

Romeo Dumitru, Operations Manager, Consolight & Jeroen Fabry, Business Unit Manager CEE, H.Essers

"I hope that in our specialization, pharma/chemicals sector, we leave a good and healthy mark on the way things should be done for customers, in accordance with the law and regulations in force. Also, I leave behind autonomous people which over the years will be built 3-4 times more warehouses, truck fleets and so on "Jeroen Fabry

Dcebal Popescu, Senior Consultant, Transport Academy & Cristina Radu, Intl. Road Freight Director, KLG Europe Logistics

"Customer requirements are growing because they are part of bigger chains ... we are always an answer to all customer requirements." - Cristina Radu

Adriana Pălășan, Managing Partner, Supply Chain Management Center & Andrei Pinte, Sales Manager, Ortec

"Every project is built around the people who lay the groundwork for that project ... I like to think that a significant number of companies and business people have been able to take some steps forward because I've been there with them, advising and supporting them." Andrei Pinte

Paul Niță - Director General, ID Logistics Romania & Andrei Jerca - Managing Director, Element Industrial

"You have a limited time frame in which someone is willing to teach you … I set myself an objective, when I will know things, if I can answer and help someone in 2-5 minutes and save him from torment two weeks to find out an information, I'll do it, I'll help. " - Andrei Jerca - Managing Director, Element Industrial

Cătălin Cîrnaru - Supply Chain Manager, Flanco Retail & Paul Copil - Founder & CEO, QeOPS

"Even if you're wrong, something good might come out — they should start from the presumption that they know nothing and learn by doing, not from the office. Logistics is good to learn it starting from the warehouse or production hall, it depends on the specific of the business." Paul Copil

Paul Niță, ID Logistics România & Elena Ghinea, Smart ID Dynamics

"The most important thing is to build a proper relationship, based on trust, respect, integrity. I don't think that a potential customer or an existing customer necessarily comes to buy your product, I think he trusts the person who sells that product. And when a client gives you a part of his business, you have to treat him as such, responsibly, respectfully, diligently." - Elena Ghinea

Adriana Palasan & Florin Ioan

"Another thing I would like to mention is the companies lack of concern (service providers, production, distribution, etc.) to qualify their employees  on what they do. Because it happens quite often to have a dialogue with people working in logistics who do not know a delivery concept, what it involves, who do not know the means of transport … the service providers can serve as a kind of advisor, but this does not cover the lack of knowledge from the market" - Florin Ioan
