Dan Toader

I have over 25 years of experience in supply chain. As a Supply Chain Officer, I was in close contact with the customers in order to make sure the services (purchasing, warehousing, and logistics) are provided in professional manner, and therefore developing the business.

I have been involved in several projects: professional setup of storerooms and logistics areas, contracts, providing high quality services and viable solutions. I have managed and improved the whole data base of West and South West Africa and West Europe vendors and service providers until the completion, thus bringing important savings to the benefit of the company. I value people and enjoy intercultural relationships.

I have the ability to focus on achieving the objectives be it short or long term.
