Jeff Bezos inducted into the Logistics Hall of Fame in Berlin
Berlin, 15.11.2017 - It's official: Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was inducted into the Logistics Hall of Fame on November 9. 170 guests of honor from politics, science, business and the media accepted the invitation of the Logistics Hall of Fame to celebrate the successful internet pioneer in the historic Erich Klausener Hall of the Federal Ministry of Transport in Berlin.
The guests, including Amazon management from Europe and Germany, applauded Roy Perticucci, Vice President Europe Customer Fulfillment at Amazon (pictured), as he accepted the glass and metal membership certificate on behalf of Jeff Bezos.
Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. Michael ten Hompel, Managing Director of the Fraunhofer IML and himself a member of the Hall of Fame, gave a rousing laudatory speech for the new member. In his speech, he paid tribute to Bezos' entrepreneurial achievements, who not only reinvented e-commerce by combining software and logistics, but also provided a blueprint for a new Logistics 4.0. Bezos thus joins the ranks of great industrial visionaries such as Daimler, Siemens and Edison. Jeff Bezos is the 33rd member of the Logistics Hall of Fame. He was chosen from 17 candidates from eight nations by an international jury of experts in September. red
