Stella serves as KAHL’s Operations, where she plays a critical role in ensuring the seamless movement of perishable cargo across air and sea freight channels. With a career grounded in quality assurance and regulatory compliance, she brings both technical expertise and a deep understanding of global export requirements.

Her journey began in the quality assurance space, auditing suppliers and leading food safety compliance programs.
