TOP SUPPLY CHAIN LEADERS 2023
Nico Nuerbchen
Senior Vice President Global Supply Chain Management Olympus Corporation
Nico’s early experience of losing his grandfather to cancer served as the catalyst for his deep-seated commitment to combating medical diseases. Despite not being a doctor or engineer, he chose to pursue supply chain management due to his fascination with logistics and the potential to ensure the reliable and efficient supply of crucial medical technologies worldwide. Privately, driven by the same global passion and mindset, Nico explores the world with his family, seeking new experiences in local food and culture, while also discovering perfect spots for mountain biking, surfing, and snowboarding.
