Nunez and Patel Join Metro Group Maritime

Two steamship line veterans, Sophia Nunez and Kathy Patel, are joining Metro Group Maritime on October 1, 2014.  Sophia worked at OOCL’s offices in Oak Brook, Illinois and Kathy worked at Maersk’s offices in Charlotte.  Sophia was an expert senior collector at OOCL and Kathy Patel was most recently working as an Invoice Quality Analyst and led the Root Cause Elimination Team.  Marcus Arky, a principal at Metro Group says that “we like to combine the highest performing people from the logistics world under our roof here at Metro and focus their energies like a laser to collect receivables owed to transportation companies.”

“Office relocations in the shipping line industry, both overseas and to another state, have left amazing people in need of good employment.  We do not limit our hiring to a specific geographic area, but rather recruit the best people to collect shipping receivables from wherever they may be, including places like Chicago and Charlotte lately.  We have become a repository of shipping knowledge.  Speaking the language of ocean and intermodal transport is an invaluable tool to collect shipping receivable,” Mr. Arky goes on to say.

Ms. Patel says, "I am very excited to join Metro Group Maritime and to bring the knowledge that I have gained from working in the shipping industry for eight years in order to contribute to the valuable industry service of providing measurable results in the collection of receivables."

“Working on the liner side has prepared me well for receivable collections position at Metro Group Maritime,” said Ms. Nunez.
