In his almost 20 years at 4flow, Andreas Kick has provided top level consulting to businesses in all industries and regions around the world. He has been a driver of 4flow’s strong international growth and by way of his innovative strength, has significantly contributed to the successful development of 4flow consulting. Andreas Kick combines supply chain transformation and new technologies at the highest level. In his new role as COO, he is responsible for 4flow consulting globally, where until recently he held the position of partner.
Julian Schulcz joined 4flow in 2004 and worked as a consultant until taking on the responsibility of developing 4flow’s fourth-party logistics business line 4flow management in 2009. He and his team have written an unprecedented success story for 4flow by creating a global business that sets new standards in the 4PL industry to this day. This was recognized in 2016 by winning the German Award for Supply Chain Management from BVL International together with AGCO. Julian Schulcz works tirelessly to drive new efficiency levels in supply chain networks and to digitize supply chains. In his new role as COO, he is responsible 4flow management and 4PL services worldwide.
And so, from May 4, 2020, 4flow will have a four-member board consisting of Kai Althoff, CEO; Andreas Kick, COO; Julian Schulcz, COO; and Stephan Kappel, CFO.

In an increasingly volatile world, supply chain and logistics is becoming an even more important factor for businesses’ performance. Top businesses can open up new dimensions of performance faster and faster, above all through the interaction of process innovation and new technologies – where two worlds merge. On account of this, 4flow is positioning itself even more effectively with its new board and expanding the strength of its business model and its ability to digitize. This clearly sets the course for international success. For 2025, the new 4flow board and the leadership team have set a growth target of 150%.
"We are full of determination and motivation for what lies ahead. I am very much looking forward to working with this new team," said new 4flow CEO Kai Althoff. "With Julian Schulcz and Andreas Kick as COOs, we have the best possible expansion of our management board. We’ll be able to react with more precision and even faster in the future.”
