“ It feels like we ’ ve aged in dog years over the last three years ; however , we ’ ve used this experience to be innovative and push our own limits ,” he laughs . “ We ’ ve learned a lot . It has forced us to reflect , which has allowed us to learn more about ourselves and our customers , as well as fine tune how we deliver world-class service to our customers across the globe .”
