David Aguyé, with a 30-year trajectory as a freight forwarder in both multinational companies and local agencies, has moved from logistics management to contribute his experience and knowledge in making the Panco Group a platform that offers real and innovative solutions to local freight forwarders seeking to grow their international business. David is motivated by technological challenges and alternative proposals. His "dyslexic thinking" profile means that creative and out-of-the-box thinking are a spontaneous constant in his professional development.
Outside of work, and after a midlife crisis, David has reignited his motivation for sports, especially mountain biking. His dream is to travel through India on a motorcycle (and to quit smoking).
