Remi Lavergne
Head of IT & Compliance at GFS
I have 23 years’ experience in logistics. I started with Geodis in Paris HQ, which was a brand-new company back then. I then spent four years working at Geodis Teisa in Spain, at the heart of the freight forwarding and the logistics industry, working with clients like Nike, Camper and IBM.
At the end of my time in Spain, I got married and moved to the US.
I studied an MBA for two years, then went to the MIT Sloan School of Massachusetts in Boston to study technology, operations and value chain management.
Around the same period, I met with Li & Fung leaders in New York and worked in various roles over the span of 11 years before joining GFS in 2022.

With real-time information, you can see trends and make early decisions, meaning you have time to inform clients and propose alternative solutions.
Most enjoyable part of your role?
The excitement of working with my team and partners on new ideas that I know will have a strong impact on business.
Proudest professional achievement?
When you have clients that like your solutions enough to recommend you to others.
