Oliver Kahrs (Past Speaker)

“Believe me, if it can be digitized, it will be”, this famous quote of Carly Fiorina, former CEO of HP, is driving Oliver’s believes not to trust the current status and always have in sight what chances are offered by digitalization.

With more than 20 years of management experience in freight procurement, business development and SaaS-Sales he knows that every industry will focus digitalization sooner or later. As a customer centric and pragmatic collaborator with hands-on mentality, he worked in global public companies as well as in fast growing start-ups.

For the last 9 years he was selling complex software solutions to customers sized from SMEs to global Blue Chips. His passion for transportation logistics, procurement and data driven analytics was paving the road for his new role within TRANSPOREON.

Since Summer 2017 he is leading a newly formed team developing data driven products using Big Data, Predictive Analytics and Machine Learning to help TRANSPOREON customers to understand market dynamics and to do better decisions.

Besides being “online” during work, Oliver loved spending “offline” quality time with his family and his nine year old son while traveling or enjoying the nature. During summer he is riding mountain bikes and goes Skiing in winter, even though his style marks won’t give him any gold medal.
