Hannover, Germany. Bernd Rohde (41) is the new Project Manager for CeMAT – the world’s leading intralogistics exhibition. Rohde is an accomplished tradeshow specialist who has gained a wealth of international experience. Raised in Mexico, he studied economics at the University of Adelaide, Australia, before beginning his career at the German-Mexican Chamber of Commerce in Mexico City, where he was put in charge of investments, projects and market research.
