ALEJANDRINA

Dear Members of the Selection Committee,

It is a great honor for me to express my strong interest in joining the Women in Project Cargo network. As a Peruvian woman with over 25 years of experience in international logistics and project cargo, I am deeply committed to the advancement of women in this specialized and strategic field.

Throughout my career, I have led complex logistics operations across South America, with a focus on heavy lift, breakbulk, and time-critical shipments. I currently serve as General Manager of Translogistics Solution SAC, a company I founded and lead with pride. I have also mentored young professionals and promoted ethical, efficient, and resilient practices within the industry.

Belonging to this global network represents an opportunity not only to continue learning and sharing best practices, but also to contribute my voice and experience as a Latin American woman who believes in collaboration, excellence, and innovation in project logistics.

I will be attending the upcoming meeting in Houston and truly hope to become part of this inspiring group of professionals. I am convinced that together, we can drive meaningful change and elevate the role of women in project cargo worldwide.

Thank you very much for considering my application.

Warm regards,

In the breakbulk industry, HR is often overlooked, yet it’s the most powerful department—combining sales, operations, administration, and legal into one essential force. But here’s the truth, HR is the people. Without the people, nothing else matters. 

For the women shaping this space, your role is critical in driving automation, creating strong processes, ensuring compliance, and protecting the company legally. You have the power to scale businesses, build thriving teams, and lead with confidence.

Step up and own your impact. HR isn’t just a department, it’s the heart, mind, and soul of every company. Be the leader who transforms the future of breakbulk and proves that HR drives growth, innovation, and success.

1. Own Your Expertise with Confidence Being a woman in a male-dominated field can sometimes make you feel like you need to over-prove your capabilities. My advice: don’t just prove your knowledge—own it. Whether you're leading a meeting or negotiating a deal, speak with confidence. This industry rewards expertise, and when you show up with authority, people will respect your insights. 2. Build a Strong Support Network Mentorship is crucial. Find both male and female mentors who can offer guidance, share experiences, and open doors. Equally important is to mentor other women in the field. A strong network of allies, colleagues, and mentors will help you navigate tricky situations and career opportunities alike. 3. Don’t Shy Away from the Tough Conversations There will be times when you encounter bias—whether conscious or unconscious. It can be uncomfortable, but addressing it directly and professionally is key. If you’re in a situation where you’re being underestimated or dismissed, call attention to it diplomatically. Use those moments as opportunities to educate and advocate for change. 4. Leverage Emotional Intelligence As women, we often bring high levels of emotional intelligence (EQ) to the table, which is invaluable in managing teams and relationships in this industry. Whether you’re handling a difficult client or leading a diverse team, being attuned to the emotional dynamics at play can be a competitive advantage. Use it to build trust, resolve conflicts, and foster collaboration. 5. Embrace Discomfort as Growth Throughout my career, I’ve faced moments of doubt, difficult personalities, and even isolation in the room. But I’ve learned that those uncomfortable situations are where the most growth happens. Take those experiences as learning opportunities and be resilient. Push through the discomfort and come out stronger on the other side. 6. Champion Diversity and Inclusion Being a woman in logistics gives you the unique opportunity to advocate for broader diversity in the industry. Use your position to elevate other underrepresented voices, create spaces for different perspectives, and push for a more inclusive workplace culture. This is not only good for business but also essential for long-term change. 7. Stay Focused on Your Vision In an industry that is constantly evolving, it’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day grind. Keep your eye on the bigger picture—your career goals, personal growth, and the long-term impact you want to make in the industry. When you lead with vision and purpose, you inspire others to follow suit. 8. Celebrate Your Wins—Big and Small Success in supply chain and logistics is often built over time through persistence, strategy, and hard work. Don’t wait for others to recognize your achievements; celebrate your own victories. Whether you close a deal, solve a complex logistical problem, or navigate a tough negotiation, take a moment to reflect on how far you've come. The logistics and supply chain industry needs diverse voices and perspectives, and your contribution as a woman is invaluable. Lead with confidence, embrace challenges, and lift others as you climb. There’s space for all of us at the top!

Women in business must own their expertise and authority. It’s not enough to be in the room—you have to ensure your presence is felt. Speak with confidence, back your ideas with data, and never let anyone underestimate your contributions. Negotiation is key in every aspect of your career, whether it’s securing a deal, increasing your salary, or establishing fair contract terms. Men rarely hesitate to ask for more, and neither should you.

Building strategic relationships is just as important as expertise. Networking isn’t just about collecting contacts but about forming alliances with decision-makers, mentors, and peers who challenge and uplift you. The right connections can open doors that talent alone cannot. At the same time, resilience is everything. You will face challenges, biases, and setbacks, but your ability to adapt and push forward will set you apart. Stay focused on the long game, keep learning, and never let anyone dictate your limits.

2. Build strong relationships — your network is your power. This industry runs on trust. Invest in relationships across operations, sales, customers, and partners. The more connected you are, the more influence and opportunities you gain.
3. Control your space — and don’t apologize for it. Whether you’re coordinating a project, leading a meeting, or managing a shipment crisis, claim your role confidently. You don’t have to shrink yourself to make others comfortable.
4. Stay curious — logistics evolves every day. Technology, sustainability, customer expectations—everything is changing. Keep learning, ask questions, and challenge “the way we’ve always done it.”
5. Support other women. Share knowledge. Recommend them. Open doors. Logistics becomes stronger when we lift each other up.
6. Be authentic — your leadership style is an advantage. You don’t have to imitate anyone else’s way of leading. Empathy, structure, and precision are strengths in operations.
7. Aim high. Women belong at the planning table, in operations rooms, and in executive decisions. Don’t limit yourself to roles you’ve seen other women in—create the role you want.

Utilize and embrace our difference in skill set! Women can bring different skills and traits to the logistics industry that males can't. We are fantastic listeners, communicators, and can offer empathy and understanding that you may not be able to get from your male coworkers. We are organised, prepared and have the ability to plan some more for every possible scenario that may get thrown our way. In an unpredictable industry with so many ups and downs, these qualities are what makes us valuable employees. Sometimes our qualities as females are portrayed with a negative tone, when it fact we can use them to our advantage.

As someone new to the industry, my advice to women is to embrace the courage to ask questions, even those that may seem self-evident. While the answers might appear straightforward, engaging in discussions about why they are considered obvious can encourage both you and your counterpart to reexamine traditional approaches and perspectives with a fresh and innovative mindset.

My journey into maritime logistics started in an unexpected way.While exploring the industry, I met someone in Brazil offering mentoring in chartering, break bulk, and project cargo. I was curious about how these operations worked and during our conversations, I noticed an opportunity: their mentoring was mostly B2C, focused on individuals, but I suggested they explore an in-company approach, targeting actual companies. That conversation led to new meetings and connections with potential businesses, giving me a first-hand look into the strategic side of this sector. I realized that even as a curious student, by observing, asking questions, and thinking critically, I could contribute and learn in real situations. Since then, I have been diving deeper into shipping, break bulk, and project cargo, studying operations, understanding the challenges and opportunities in global logistics, and noticing that in Brazil there is increasing investment in this sector, which makes it an exciting time to engage and learn. This experience showed me that maritime logistics isn’t just about moving cargo; it’s about strategy, planning, and people. It inspired me to share my learning publicly and connect with professionals worldwide, continuing to grow in this complex and fascinating field.

Don’t just take a seat at the table — own it, speak up, and bring another woman with you. In supply chain, strength lies in strategy — and there’s nothing more strategic than women supporting each other and lifting everyone around them. True leadership empowers all, not just women — because when one rises, we all do. With our natural ability to multitask, think systemically, and lead with empathy, women are uniquely equipped to shape the future of this industry — not just efficiently, but sustainably and inclusively.
