International Line Highlights Investment in Human Talent, Technology, and Sustainability
Felipe Quinteros, CEO of International Line, considers these factors indispensable for leading the logistics industry in Chile.
In an increasingly interconnected context, the logistics industry has emerged as a fundamental pillar for Chile’s economic development. Whether through maritime, air, or land transport, logistics companies are constantly challenged to adapt to global demands, and success in this environment relies on the human talent driving this transformation.
The logistics sector, once primarily seen as operational, has evolved into a highly technological environment. Therefore, continuous skill updates and training are essential to remain competitive. Today, logistics leaders not only need to be experts in managing large volumes of goods but must also incorporate emerging technologies such as automation, artificial intelligence, and data analysis. This multidisciplinary approach is crucial for success in today’s industry.
In this context, Chilean logistics leaders stand out for their strategic vision and ability to anticipate changes in the global market. “At International Line, we have implemented a strategy that builds competent teams in logistics operations and prepares them to lead expansion, digitalization, and sustainability projects. This comprehensive approach to training covers everything from technical skills to leadership and crisis management competencies,” explains Felipe Quinteros, CEO of International Line.
The ability of logistics executives to manage the complexity of global markets and promote the adoption of disruptive technologies is key. “At International Line, this vision has been pivotal to our success in expanding into international markets such as Peru and the Iquique region, strengthening our position as leaders in the logistics industry,” assures the organization’s CEO.
On the other hand, the adoption of new technologies has revolutionized the logistics industry, enabling greater automation in processes. In a world where supply chains are becoming more complex, tools such as artificial intelligence, warehouse management systems, and real-time traceability solutions are essential to improving efficiency.
However, human talent remains crucial. While automation optimizes repetitive tasks, logistics leaders are the ones interpreting data, managing decision-making, and anticipating potential disruptions in the supply chain. Therefore, training in the use of these technological tools not only increases operational efficiency but also enhances the ability to respond to unforeseen events.
Finally, concludes Felipe Quinteros, “In a global environment where supply chains face risks such as pandemics, natural disasters, and fluctuations in demand, having trained leaders is essential to maintaining operational resilience.”
