Laila Victoria

CLS Logistics Solutions SRL Dominican Republic

“Though the logistics industry now has more female presence than before, it is still up to us to serve as role models for future female generations to come. Currently in the Dominican Republic, you can find few women dedicated to breakbulk yet there are many directly involved in logistics and scaling high positions in this sector. If we really want to see change, we have to do the work, participate actively and support each other. That’s why it is my belief that organizations such as WISTA are part of what can encourage change and help empower females."
