Victoria Bernal is a logistics and supply chain professional trained at major engineering multinationals — SBM Offshore, McDermott and Técnicas Reunidas. Her work spans the full spectrum of international project logistics: freight forwarding, customs and export-control compliance, procurement from RFQ to purchase order, vendor and service-contract management, heavy-lift and oversized cargo, and the leadership of technical logistics teams.
