Introducing Camille Abbas, our Manager of Logistics & Distribution

At Silk & Snow , the people behind the brand are just as important as the brand itself. Each and every team member at Silk & Snow impacts the brand in their own unique way, and we couldn’t be happier with our team!

With that being said, we are proud to introduce Camille Abbas , our newly promoted Manager of Logistics & Distribution. Camille is responsible for overseeing the smooth running of all aspects of our logistics operation. He works closely with our warehouses and manufacturers, maintains relationships with vendors and most importantly, ensures that all of our valued customers receive their orders on time. We wanted to catch up with him to find out what makes our newest manager tick.?

Originally from Lebanon, Camille spent three years of his childhood growing up in the Dollard-Des-Ormeaux neighbourhood of Montreal, planting the seed for a return to Canada years later. After spending his adolescence back in Lebanon, Camille joined the Silk & Snow team in 2021 following his graduation from The American University of Beirut, where he received a Bachelor’s of Business Administration. He originally specialized in Finance, but by his final year Camille had realized that Logistics was his passion and he completed his degree focusing on Supply Chain Management.

While the world was locked down under COVID-19 restrictions, Camille took the opportunity to complete various Supply Chain internships to further hone his expertise.?

“It was a great time to learn the trade.” says Camille. “I could spot disruptions in supply chains and quickly became passionate about finding creative solutions. Logistics is never the glamorous side of any business, but it touches all aspects from A-Z, and that’s what initially drew me in.”

With his new found experience in hand, Camille flew back to Canada to pursue his dream career in Toronto. Camille’s work ethic is inspired by his father - a Construction Project Manager who taught him that “There is always room for improvement”, a mantra that Camille takes to heart and applies daily to his work with Silk & Snow.

Silk & Snow was the first company Camille approached when looking for a job in Canada.?“I wanted to work somewhere I could really make an impact and grow with the business. At the time, Silk & Snow was a thriving startup, so I jumped at the chance to apply.”?

Joining a digitally native business was a new adventure for Camille, and provided an opportunity where he could really sink his teeth into a logistical challenge. Camille quickly made an impression within his team with his strong work ethic, and was promoted to eCommerce Operations Analyst within his first year. His expertise was relied upon during some of the most crucial periods of growth for Silk & Snow.?

Just one year after being promoted, the Operations team quickly acknowledged how important Camille’s role within the team was, and promoted him to Manager of Logistics & Distribution.?

“We were so impressed with Camille’s proactivity, problem solving and his affinity with his team, he was a natural fit for the leadership position”, says Kenneth Mo , Chief Operating Officer of Silk & Snow. “We know that Camille has a bright future ahead of him at Silk & Snow and beyond.”?

From an operational perspective, Camille has big plans for Silk & Snow in the future. His main goal is to see Silk & Snow expand more into the US and Europe, and continue delivering the perfect home experience to your doorstep.?

“Maybe I’ll get more use out of my Arabic if we expand our operations to there.” - chuckles Camille.
