I began my career in freight forwarding in 1995, rather by chance than design. It was a logical direction to go due to fluent English and Italian and living in Genoa - a major port in Italy. My resume includes Kuehne & Nagel, TOLL, and other large and powerful global freight forwarders. In 2004, I started my own company WLS, which began with a staff of 5 and grew to 20. A significant period, that gave me the chance to go to China and learn more about the networking groups and it was there and then we planted the seed for an exclusive freight forwarding organization. This blossomed in 2006 when our ideas became reality and formed The Marcopololine Group, going from 4 members, and 6 offices in a couple of countries to 460 offices in almost 100 countries. We are proud of this unique organization, which whilst business is at the forefront, retains an atmosphere of an extended family through both loyalty and friendship. We are particularly gratified by the overwhelming support and dedication of our members - who we can rely on to ensure we continue to grow not only in size but strength and reputation.
