At Vanguard Logistics, our global network is enriched by diversity. Women at Vanguard play a key role in the company's success, excelling across departments, building strong relationships, and advancing business objectives every day.
In celebration of International Women's Day, we interviewed some of our wonderful colleagues at Vanguard Logistics and asked them to share advice on how they've excelled and grown in the logistics industry:

“In business, especially in logistics, authenticity and adaptability are essential. Success is built on relationships, clear communication, and focus.
My advice: choose to lead with flexibility, empathy, and strength.”

“Lead with confidence – your ability to anticipate challenges and think strategically is your greatest strength. Stay adaptable and calm under pressure; resilience sets strong women apart in logistics.
Build trust, communicate clearly, and never underestimate the power of your voice in the room.”

“Women in logistics are redefining leadership by bringing resilience, innovation, and strong problem-solving skills to the industry. I would say believe in your capabilities and never hesitate to take on challenges.
Also, do prioritise your mental and physical well-being. Stay confident, keep learning, and support one another to grow together.”
Emanuela Guglielmi – Head of Operations, Europe & Africa
“First of all, I would thank the women who, through their example, guidance and professionalism influenced and shaped my professional journey in the logistics industry.
To all women working in logistics today, I wish you the courage to keep leaving your mark. Through your expertise, determination and vision you can show to other generations there is space to innovate, lead and make a real impact.”
