Ollie is a senior supply chain and logistics leader with more than 15 years’ experience across global markets, international trade and commodity movements.
As Director, Perishables & Agri, Oceania at DP World Logistics, Ollie leads the development of end-to-end supply chain solutions for Australia’s importers and exporters, with a particular focus on supporting the movement of agricultural and perishable goods into key global markets.
With previous experience in APAC pricing for a multinational shipping line, as well as commodity trading, Ollie brings a deep understanding of freight markets, export pathways and the commercial realities facing Australian producers.
