Lic. Wendy J Lugo

Wendy J Lugo is an operations manager in the logistics, transportation, and supply chain industry. With 25 years of experience, she currently oversees operations at her company based in Kent, Washington, with a daily focus on maintaining profit margins amid economic challenges such as rising fuel costs. She delegates authority to her managers to avoid micromanagement. Originally from a small town, she began her career in warehouses, trucking yards, and freight brokerage opportunities available locally. She holds a master's degree in public administration. To advance, she obtained her CDL as a requirement for higher positions despite it being uncommon for women at the time. She attributes her professional success to significant personal sacrifices, including forgoing having children to prioritize her career, and to her commitment to continuous self-improvement through additional certifications and degrees whenever needed.
