About
Hello Curious, I'm currently growing an exceptionally reliable, service driven, asset based logistics company focused on delivering beyond expectations. I have the unique perspective of having worked on both the demand and supply side of supply chain, logistics, and transportation. And also supply chain financing solutions. That's the complete set! Prior to this exceptional opportunity I was EVP for another asset based TL brokerage. I moved there after completing my work with a phenomenal entrepreneur, for whom I led product development, channel strategy and GTM for a paradigm shifting supply chain financing platform. While creating the platform, I continued to transform business development at a freight brokerage where I was the SVP. It's owner was also a co-founder who believed deeply in the project. Before providing freight services and supply chain financing I was consulting on selling, sales management, and operations after nearly a decade leading sales and marketing at a specialt…
Experience
Chief Strategy Officer (Cso)
TruckFix · Greater Chicago Area
TruckFix is the go-to platform for seamless Truck/Trailer repair experiences. The problem is that a $1T industry is stuck in the 20th century - the most important elements of the Over-the-Road supply chain - the driver and their equipment, still remain vastly neglected, resulting in downtime. That downtime decreases productivity, which increases expenses while damaging service and reputations. TruckFix connects drivers, fleet managers, and carriers with curated repair service providers, making reservations easy and enhancing the overall repair journey. Think OpenTable(tm) for truck repairs! Freight enablement improves customer experience, drives the bottom line, and dramatically improves operational efficiency in the entire freight network ecosystem, making a tremendous impact in gross domestic productivity.

Director of Business Development and Marketing
Metafora (formerly CarrierDirect) · Chicago
My role is to re-imagine how business development is done, moving from a siloed, typically consultant sales model focused on "principal/parner" relationships. It's not forecastable, is unpredictable, and difficult to scale effectively. Resource planning becomes difficult. And there are more efficient ways to automate and create business development velocity. I oversaw all sales and marketing operations, working directly with Product, Development, Consulting executives, the CEO, as well as partners and industry influencers to resource plan and implement an effective sales/marcomm strategy. I'm not overselling when I say that we are transforming transportation. CarrierDirect helps transportation businesses modernize. We provide management consulting and custom technology development to companies impacted by transportation: Whether you're a carrier with a fleet of 5000 power units or 50; a 3PL or broker, or if you're a shipper searching for data and visibility in freight, we can help to c…
