TOP SUPPLY CHAIN LEADERS 2023
Luca Fichera
Head of Supply Chain and Business Services Nestlé
Luca Fichera is the Head of Supply Chain and Business Services for Nestlé Asia, Oceania, and Africa. His journey began right after college when he started to work in a pasta factory without fully understanding the complexities of supply chain management. After 26 years, he came to realize that selling high-quality and delicious spaghetti to people around the world requires much more than just flour and water! Luca has a genuine passion for 3 ‘Fs’ in life: Food (he is also a good cook), Fitness, and Football (he holds a season ticket at Juventus stadium).
Message to the Supply Chain Community
Winning this global supply chain award is a great honor on behalf of my team in Asia, Oceania, and Africa. We have a network of inspiring teams across 119 countries, multiple categories, and hundreds of products. This is truly a recognition of our passion, commitment, and energy to transform our supply chain to be best-in-class to enable profitable growth!
Prioritizing and empowering people is as important as driving operational excellence. In Supply Chain, we often operate in a state of ‘business unusual’ so we need to be agile, resilient, and adaptable. Have an inspiring ambition, and set high standards and objectives. And work with passion to achieve your dreams.
