“Louis Dreyfus Company is a people business, in spite of being a global commodities player. Being accessible and encouraging constant communication are two of its key attributes.”
In my role as Head of Freight Asia and Global Capesize Head at Louis Dreyfus Company, I manage the capesize book and the freight teams in Asia, both in Singapore and in Beijing. The job is captivating as there are many parameters to follow, all at the same time. Also, the very nature of our business pushes us to be proactive and adapt to ever-changing market conditions to stay ahead of the competition. The best part of working here is the culture of entrepreneurship. It allows employees to evolve and propose initiatives with wider latitudes than in other companies. This is one of the company’s main advantages, and it lies at the heart of its success, because it enables the company to remain agile.
