I am part of the Customer Service team. My main role is to manage the shipments of our clients from the moment they accept the quote from the sales department.

2. How was your professional development at FMS?

I started my journey at Fr. Meyer's Sohn in September 2018. I returned to Spain after 3 years working and studying in London. The Madrid office welcomed me with open arms, as they were starting a new growth project for the office. I believed in the project and little by little, we have doubled the staff since we started. I have taken on new challenges during this time, taking charge of the office's accounting and improving and optimizing processes. Now, I am part of a new project on the Multiplier team where we try to gather quality data for each shipment, helping all team members learn to use the company's computer tools.

3 Questions to Stefano Bertucioli | FMS Madrid

1. What is your job at FMS Madrid?

I am the Branch Manager of the Madrid office. My main responsibility is to supervise all departments, focusing on the constant development and growth of the office. Currently, my main function is to search for new business and methods to make the Madrid office grow. Additionally, I am part of the sales team this year, where we regularly share ideas and focus on how to best use our tools to attract new accounts.

2. How was your professional development at FMS?

I started as a Shipping Coordinator approximately 6 years ago, managing customer operations. However, at that time the Madrid office did not have many clients, so I also performed commercial functions to attract new accounts and manage their traffic. After many efforts and calls, we managed to attract new accounts, which meant that I performed both commercial and customer service tasks for these accounts. Later on, as the office grew, I became a Business Development Manager, focusing solely on commercial functions. During this time, the account portfolio grew exponentially, and so did the Customer Service team. Finally, after the departure of the previous Branch Manager, the general management of FMS Spain entrusted me with the management of the Madrid office. For 4 years now, I have happily been serving as Branch Manager (and hopefully for many more years to come ;) ).

3. Why do you like working at FMS?

One of the main reasons why I feel comfortable working in this company is the good atmosphere we have. The familiar and close atmosphere is amazing. Personally, I am grateful for the trust placed in me during all these years and the freedom with which I have been able to make decisions. This has personally helped my growth and that of the Madrid office.
