About

Hi there! I’m Albertus Berning, a data-driven logistics and Aftersales specialist with over 20 years of experience in automotive distribution, warehousing, and supply chain optimization. I currently help clients translate data into strategic decisions through BI dashboards and analytics, while previously leading VW Group South Africa’s regional parts operations and managing complex logistics networks.

I enjoy collaborating across cross-functional teams, driving cost reductions, improving service levels, and building robust inventory and process improvements. I’m excited to bring my combination of hands-on operations leadership and data-driven insights to new challenges.
