Simon Kirchner

Growing up near the river Elbe in the Hamburg suburbs, ships, the harbour and therefore logistics have always played a major role for Simon and the path to an apprenticeship in freight forwarding and logistics services was not far away. After completing his apprenticeship and gaining first experience in sea freight forwarding, he moved from the service provider side to the shipper side at Tchibo GmbH, where from then on the focus was more on the product and its entire inbound logistics than on pure transport logistics. Since 2018, he have held various positions in the company and gained experience in day-to-day business, operational process management and overarching transport management. Since 2024 he and his team have been responsible for both operational and administrative activities from the origins of the goods (coffee & non-food) up to the port of destination.
