Sabine Simeon-Aissaoui Education
Talented and ambitious, Sabine Simeon-Aissaoui was in full fl ight when an unsuccessful project, which she initiated in China, knocked her confi dence. It gave her time to regroup, think, and come back with renewed energy and determination. After a short spell working for a supplier in Singapore she returned to the Swiss Schindler Group in 2014 and transformed its European Supply Chain. This led to her receiving the APICS Award for Excellence – supply chain leader, an award that honors extraordinary team and organizational leadership, mentoring of fellow professionals and contributions that advance the supply chain industry as a whole. With an operational mindset Simeon-Aissaoui prefers ‘to do’ than ‘to talk’ but enthusiastically shares her experiences in order to inspire others.
