| Friso Kuipers: Chairman |
 | I finished my master study in Computer Science / Business Intelligence at TU/e in 1999. After having worked for three years in the telecommunications and ICT branch I decided it was time for a change in mandate. Hence, I joined the LMS programme and finished it in February 2005. I support the VLO because I think it's of vital importance to have a platform of thinkers-alike to maintain the globally known leverage of being a country of logistics experts (next to dike-builders, of course). I am currently working as a Product Manager for Logistics Services at voestalpine Railpro BV, Hilversum. |

| Marco Bachrach: Treasurer |
 | I graduated in econometrics specialising in quantitative logistics in 1997 at Tilburg University. Thereafter I immediately continued with the International Program in Logistics Management Systems at Eindhoven University, which I finished by the end of 1999 with a project at Dow Chemicals in Terneuzen.
I started my working carreer at Océ Technologies in Venlo in 2000 and worked in several logistics and IT projects as a logistics project manager and later as business project manager service logistics. In 2006 I moved to Philips Lighting where I am working as a supply chain consultant responsible for management reporting, business planning and the logistics improvement portfolio in the supply group TL/CFL-ni.
I have been an active member of the VLO since 1998 organising three conferences and being a board member since 1999. Since 2003 I am treasurer in the VLO board. |

I started my career in a food manufacturing company Kate’s Cakes in the UK as a Project Associate. I worked in several process improvement projects. Having worked for more than one year, to gain deep insights into supply chain I joined LMS.
After being a VLO Secretary this year, I will keep supporting VLO as general board member. I would like to connect current LMS trainees with logistics experts through VLO activities. |

| Yang Liu: Secretary |
 | I got my bachelor degree of Industrial Engineering from BeiHang University in Beijing, China in 2005, then I continued my master study of Industrial Management in Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium for one year. I joined in LMS programme because I want to have some professional experience in logistics area which I am very interested at. To be a VLO secretary provided me the platform to work for the big family of Logistics, to give me a chance to meet the experts in this field. It is an honour to work in the board with other members. I graduated LMS and now work for Philips Lighting. |

 | I recently graduated from Logistics Management System at the TU/e and employed at CapGemini Consulting. I started my study in Msc.

VLO provides us a unique platform to communicate and network with our alumini. |
