Carlos Avalos
Sandhill Ecuador SAS
At a young age, Carlos Avalos’ grandfather and father taught him the ins and outs of the moving business. As he grew older, it was a natural fit for him work in the family moving business. His studies earned him a degree in Business Administration in Canada and a Master’s degree in Supply Chain and Logistics in Spain. Carlos’ work experience included working in the banking industry in Ecuador and in a global transfer company in Germany, but the moving industry kept calling him back. Carlos is involved with many industry associations and was elected as a LACMA Next board member. Recently, Carlos opened his own moving company and is currently developing new projects with Sandhill Ecuador.

Lori Hickey
Bliss Moving & Logistics Srl
Born in the USA, Lori grew up in Los Angeles during the crazy 70's. She carries telltale signs still today, like her independent spirit and high value of relationships that lured her to Italy to explore its iconic sense of family. She never left, and over the past 25 years Lori has remained in Italy enjoying the Dolce Vita and a satisfying career in Global Mobility specialized in serving the expat and diplomatic communities' needs.
First recruited into the industry by a multinational relocation company to help manage key accounts, it wasn't long before Lori changed course to collaborate with family-owned companies offering her a more agile structure and better fit.
Lori has maintained this heading ever since, living a well-balanced work-family life and keeping herself actively engaged in community leadership — a 'thing’ she is very passionate about. She was awarded "Most Distinguished Global Citizen" for her inspiration & contributions toward a more sustainable community life, and given 'Merit of Honor' from the President of the Italian Republic.
With a background in advanced planning, Lori also kept an eye to the future. Following her deepening hunch that technology was on course to revolutionize the industry, she veered onto a path that led to a place beyond her imagination. In 2019 she joined Bliss Corporation - a dynamic, future-ready company where she linked her decades of experience and skills to their creative, entrepreneurial culture, aligned herself to their forefront stance on the digital evolution — and is excited to ride the crest of the wave into the future.
