A Colleague's Journey from Martial Arts Master to Supply Chain Sensei

Khatib Abdelaziz, director of supply chain, applies the discipline of martial arts to the complex world of healthcare logistics. In just two years, he has used his engineering and manufacturing background to streamline the delivery of critical supplies, ensuring they reach colleagues by the next morning or within hours for urgent needs. Now, he's spearheading a major automation upgrade, inspired by the efficiency of Amazon, that will double the warehouse's storage capacity and significantly improve forecasting—a crucial lesson from the pandemic. Khatib's leadership style, shaped by his time as a martial arts instructor, focuses on instilling discipline, confidence, and the mindset to never give up.
