Hire a supply chain expert in Greece and Cyprus

Planning, inventory, and logistics that work as one system, from someone who has run supply chains through real disruptions.

Most Greek and Cypriot companies that import, make or move goods run their supply chain on habit: ordering when stock looks low, warehousing where the lease happened to be. A supply chain expert replaces habit with a plan that connects sales to purchasing, and treats stock as the cash it is. The usual symptoms:

  • Stock-outs and overstock at once, in different products
  • Working capital tied up in inventory nobody planned
  • A single supplier whose failure would stop the business
  • Island deliveries and the summer peak straining a network built for winter

The supply chain experts on Hellenic Talent are elite professionals from senior supply chain and logistics roles in industry, top consultancies and Big 4 operations practices. They know sea freight, island distribution and seasonal demand, and the importers, manufacturers and retailers who live with all three.

What does a supply chain expert actually do?

  • Baseline stock, service and cost before proposing any change
  • Run sales and operations planning that links the commercial forecast to purchasing
  • Set inventory policy: what to hold, where and how deep, with the cash consequences shown
  • Redesign distribution and warehousing around how goods actually flow
  • Test supplier dependencies and build a second source where the business hangs on one
  • Make the trade-off explicit between stock, service and cost

How to choose the right supply chain expert

What to test in the first conversation, whoever you end up hiring.

  1. Talks inventory in cash

    Describes stock in days of cover and working capital, not only in units and pallets.

  2. Ran a monthly planning cycle

    Has chaired a monthly sales and operations planning meeting, and can describe a purchasing decision it changed.

  3. Planned for the season

    Has planned stock and transport for a tourist peak or an island network, and can say what broke and what held.
