Uber moving to deliveries; C-Level Executives Nestle, CEVA, Dixons and more; the connected consumer
This week there are 4 fantastic articles to share including a look at Uber’s new grocery delivery concept, and eft’s very own Haley Garner commentating on the ‘connected consumer’. Vivek Sood and Steve Brady once again share their knowledge and insight, this month on big data and strategy.
This week also saw the launch of the 12th European 3PL Summit and CSCO Forum which is due to take place in Amsterdam on November 18-20. If you are involved in the European logistics industry then this is a must attend event. With 300 very senior executives in attendance, including business heavyweights such as John Allan CBE, Deputy Chairman of Dixons Carphone (ex CEO Exel and CFO Deutsche Post), Chris Tyas, Group Head of Supply Chain, Nestle and Ivanka Janssen, MD Global Supply Chain, Diageo. Plus CEO’s and other senior management from CEVA, Raben, BLG, Gondrand, Jan de Rijk, Kuehne & Nagel. I hope to see many of you in November for some important industry dialogue.
Kind Regards,
