Luc Van Herck – Nike Inc


TAPA needs to be on the offense on cargo crime, always! We need to serve the members! Supply chain security for the future! Those are my 3 priorities for the next term. I would like to continue to deliver quality support for the members and their security challenges. Development of future standards, e-training, and growth in France are on my to-do list for the coming 3 years. I hope I can count on the members to keep the “Just Do it” mentality alive.


Mark Gruentjes – Nosta Holding GmbH


Ap Boom – Amazon


For me, TAPA EMEA is the leading organisation in setting security standards for the supply chain and transportation. Being connected to TAPA


EMEA for a long time and experiencing lots of support with both FSR and TSR certifications, I feel it is time now to give something back to TAPA EMEA and invest time and energy in the TAPA EMEA Board. Amazon is already a sponsor of the PSR programme. Furthermore, Amazon as a buyer strongly supports me in achieving a Board function. I am very motivated to fulfil all the duties coming with a Board function.


Dear TAPA members and friends, I have had the pleasure to support TAPA EMEA in various roles throughout the past decade and very much appreciated the worldwide recognition


that our Standards achieved in the supply chain security fields of almost every industry sector. My previous regulatory involvement very much supported my current role as Standards Lead. I understand that we are in a very responsible and crucial position to develop our 2020 Standards in a way that supports our ever-changing and developing world, and to keep up with all the benefits and risks that IoT, Big Data and all the other evolving developments have brought us already and will continue to do so. The 2020 Standards need to be developed even more towards the needs and requirements of our current and future members to protect your assets and to simplify any compliance requirements that you face in your daily and growing business. It would be a real honour to get the chance to work together with you on our next evolution of TAPA Standards.


Markus Prinz – Time Shuttle GmbH


I am currently TAPA EMEA Training Lead. In my daily and operational business I am responsible for the quality assurance & security management of FTL & LTL services of theft critical and


high value cargo transports at Time Shuttle, based in Germany. Further in this role, I am taking care of several certifications including ISO, CDSA, AEO, TAPA FSR & TSR and regulated agent as well as sub-contractor management and the IT infrastructure for the majority of companies of the Hammer Group.


Marcel Saarloos – HP


The positive effect of TAPA on the industry cannot be ignored and I want to continue to be part of that effect and contribute to TAPA in general, and


in the field of incident information and standards in particular.
