He also served as Director of Operations at L’Oréal where he led the beauty giant’s omnichannel strategy for physical distribution in North America. Bosque also spent over five years at Amazon, progressing through several positions of increasing responsibility to the role of Fulfillment Center Site Leader, where he ran a leading-edge robotics facility.
