Paul Hertwig, born in 1987 in Zwickau, Germany, studied business administration and holds a Bachelor of Science degree of WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management, Vallendar, Germany. During his exchange semester at Washington University at St.Louis he was rewarded with the Honor Student Recognition for excellent academic achievement. In course of his studies he especially focused on the topics of finance and supply chain management and gained practical insides during several internships in the consulting business. As the topic of risk management in the air cargo industry is situated in the overlap of finance and supply chain management, this field of research looked appealing to him.
