Description

Jan Krems, President of United Cargo, is ready for take-off in 2020.
     Jan Krems at United Cargo is compelling and simply irresistible.
     Right now, despite the challenges and the gloom and doom predicted, United Cargo, while not immune by any means to these economic trends, continues to outperform everyone else in the U.S. air cargo business.
     It is almost as if the stars lined up above Willis Tower at the Chicago headquarters for United Cargo.
     As 2020 begins with the glimmer of a rebound in business, this native of Oss, Netherlands, is on top of the world.
     “We have really great people, we continue to add more, and we’ve made a few simple, yet vital changes in the way we work together,” Jan says, barely concealing his passion and enthusiasm.
     “Once United Cargo had people in what I call separate silos. Everyone did their jobs, but their tasks were made more difficult by the way different groups interpreted overall strategies and a tendency to focus on local objectives.

China Pandemic
Meantime World Health Organization (WHO)  continued reports accelerated numbers of people  that have been stricken by that widely reported coronavirus outbreak centered in Wuhan City China. 
Wuhan , a transportation hub, also known as the Pittsburgh of China, is home to 11 million , more people than live in New York City.

Animals At Lunar New Year
Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year and Spring Festival (to be inclusive of the East Asian diaspora that is not Chinese) began on January 25, 2020. It is the year of the Rat. The Rat occupies the first position in the Chinese zodiac. The story of how he earned that position has many versions, but they all center around a mythical race hosted by the Jade Emperor.
