The JAS Natural Stone Division specializes in the support of the ornamental stone sector. We are dedicated to the management of international carriage by air, sea, and multi-modal.
Marble, quartz, granite, and other quarried material are transported as one solid piece. For this reason, special equipment must be utilized to ensure the slabs don’t crack. Transporting this type of material is difficult because it is notorious for its delicate nature. Carrying the slab incorrectly can result in catastrophic damage.
JAS has offices strategically positioned throughout the world set up to expertly handle the stone commodity.
As the biggest stone consumer in the world, with total consumption of over $30 billion, the US market is of the highest importance to many stone processing factories all over the world, including those in Brazil, Italy, Spain, India, China, Turkey, Greece, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
The JAS Natural Stone Division is staffed with experts who are able to skillfully leverage these global sources of supply.
Throughout March, in honor of International Women's Day (March 8), we are celebrating some of the remarkable women at JAS. Today, we are honored to highlight Andrea Goeman, SVP Sustainability at JAS Worldwide.
What advice would you give your younger self?
I would advise my younger self to believe in yourself and be confident: Don’t let others opinions define who you are. Take them into consideration, make some adjustments and go for it.
How have female mentors/role models influenced your career?
I was lucky to work with amazing male and female colleagues in all stages of my career and believe that a respectful and open-minded work environment inspired me most. The book of former PepsiCo’s CEO Indra Nooyi “My Life in Full, Work, Familiy and our Future” is a great read about how purposeful leadership can drive corporate transformation forward.” Working with many inspiring women at JAS, I am already impressed by the openness and diversity of our organization; and the results we can achieve together.
What achievement are you most proud of while working at JAS?
Leading sustainability at JAS allows me to work with logistics experts from different cultures, regions and functions. In my first months, I experienced great commitment, work ethics and openness to new ideas, from our frontline workers to the management board. People really make the difference - I am proud to be part of the team.
How do you #EmbraceEquity?
Embracing Equity is not a nice-to-have, it’s a must-have. Diversity, Equality and Inclusion are driving both my personal and professional life. I am personally convinced that diverse teams perform better and bring value and growth to every company.
In your opinion, why is it important that more women pursue careers in the industry in the future?
The right time for women to pursue a career in logistics is now: With the growing importance of supply chain management, our sector is driving growth, innovations and sustainability transformation forward. Opportunities in the industry will continue to grow: The demand for analytical thinkers and innovative problem-solvers in freight forwarding is rising.
Statistics reveal that the demand for fresh or gourmet products is strong and will continue to expand.
