Yale Lift Truck Technologies’s global major accounts manager, Javier Leon Duchesne, has been named a Rock Star of the Supply Chain by Food Logistics magazine.

Duchesne was honoured in the Leaders in Excellence category, which recognises professionals with at least 10 years of supply chain industry experience.

He started his career as a Yale dealer employee in 1995 before starting with a new dealership in Puerto Rico where he built Yale operations from the ground up.

Duchesne joined the in-house Yale team full-time as major account manager for the Latin American market in 2017.

“What separates Javier from the pack is his ability to put the customer’s needs first, rather than simply selling a new lift truck,” says Mark Koffarnus, director, global major accounts, Yale Lift Truck Technologies. 

“He takes the time to build relationships and truly understand individual warehouse operations, enabling him to recommend or find the best possible solution for their problems. When customers have complex questions or can’t quite figure out what they need themselves, Javier is who they call.”
