What makes for a great leader? Words like helpful and patient come to mind. And according to AVP of Operations Paul Suarino, Operations Manager Leon Bangari and Supervisor Ansil Antoine possess these qualities and more.
“Leon and Ansil are special,” said Suarino. “It’s because of them that we have a safe, family-like work environment at both terminals.”
Antoine’s typically the first person to arrive at the Brooklyn terminal. He gets there early to ensure everything is ready for the crew to start their day, from starting heavy machinery and equipment to putting up blue flags to protect crossings.
Among his team, Bangari is considered an expert in operating a reach stacker. He trains all new team members on how to safely use it to move containers back inside the customer’s facility. Suarino said: “Leon’s training procedures are not your standard procedures. Okay is not good enough. There’s little room for error.”
