MEET THE GLOBALINK AND GLOBAL VALUE TEAM

Instead of writing about the logistics industry or freight forwarders, we wanted to share a little bit about our team and what they do at the Globalink and Global Value Network. First up is Bill…

Gioia Cerullo, Sales Representative. Here's 3 fun facts about her: 

-3.5 years ago, I decided I wanted to learn to surf, salsa dance, and speak Spanish. So, I bought a one-way ticket to Mexico City in hopes of backpacking solo all the way down to Colombia. I only visited 2 cities before arriving at Puerto Escondido where I started to surf and learned that it's the hardest sport on the planet and I needed to move there if I was ever going to get any good! I speak decent Spanish now, and am an extremely average surfer, but unfortunately, I'm still very bad at salsa dancing.

-I love to sing, play ukulele and guitar! Who thinks Will and I should start a logistics & freight forwarding-themed band?

-I was born in Canada, but lived on Lake Como in Italy until I was 6. Italian was my first language, but since moving back to Canada and not speaking it, I lost the ability to speak it fluently. Then I learned Spanish, which has confused me even more! Now, I'm on a mission to re-learn Italian.
