Reliance Partners is the fastest growing transportation and logistics insurance agency in the United States. The organization as a whole understands the intricacies of North American domestic and cross border insurance, specifically in Mexico. In February 2021, my companies, Borderless Coverage LLC and Borderless Coverage Consulting LLC were acquired by Reliance Partners! Together, our mission is to be the gold standard in the trucking and logistics insurance marketplace by applying technology and innovation that challenge the status quo. I lead international logistics for Reliance Partners. Here I will continue to scale and improve the API-enabled domestic and international cargo insurance solution called Borderless Coverage Powered by Reliance Partners for all our clients. Looking forward to reducing international and domestic insurance costs while improving risk management with Reliance Partners!

At Sedlak Supply Chain Consultants, I specialized in Distribution Center Design and Supply Chain Optimization. I worked directly with companies and organizations like the U.S. Army, Colgate-Palmolive, Transplace, and Under Armour to make their supply chain processes as efficient as possible. I personally specialized in transportation management system selection and implementation and transportation/distribution center strategy.

As a freight broker, I put a lot of time and effort into reducing the cost and friction associated with moving freight in and out of Mexico for all my international clients. The biggest pain point for my clients and I was always around obtaining a cost effective Mexican Cargo Insurance solution that provided the right level of coverage. In a response to this frustration, I founded Borderless Coverage to provide the carrier, broker, and shipper industry with Direct and Automated international cargo insurance (via API to TMS integration or through our automated portal). As our users began to ask for additional international business and domestic services, so I started Borderless Coverage Consulting as well. In Cross Border Business Consulting we provide:-USMCA and International Trade Agreement Consulting-Cross Border Distribution Strategy-Cross Border and Mexican Transportation Management Consulting-Freight Brokerage ConsultingIn Transportation & Logistics Insurance we provide:-Cross Border and Mexican Cargo Insurance-North American Trucking Captives and Auto Liability Insurance-North American Access (High Value Cargo or Spike) Insurance-Comprehensive Transportation and Logistics InsuranceOur team consists of business minded cross border supply chain consultants, economists, insurance experts, lawyers, and global trade agreement negotiators including the most recent lead negotiators of USMCA from Mexico.Borderless Coverage was acquired by Reliance Partners in February 2021!

In spending almost 8 years as a leader in the freight brokerage industry, I used a variety of tools that enabled greater transportation management efficiency. One of the tools that I used the most was a real-time shipment tracking solution called MacroPoint. I was recruited by MacroPoint and joined the team to scale it's market presence in the 3PL, asset based carrier, and freight brokerage market AND to get MacroPoint into the shipper market. After making a number of key sales specifically in the shipper market, MacroPoint was sold to Descartes for $107M. Great thing to be a part of!Note on the MacroPoint - Descartes Solution:This cloud-based SaaS solution works on any cell phone, with existing in-cab ELD/GPS and trailer tracking devices, rail car providers, and other modes to provide real-time location monitoring and tracking, delivery monitoring, and event notifications to third parties. Integrated with a wide range of TMS systems, MacroPoint automates the entire process, eliminating the need for drivers to check in with dispatchers, and for shippers and brokers to check in with carriers. Over 800,000 drivers and millions of connected trucks are a part of the “MacroPoint enabled” network.

I founded the Total Quality Logistics Nashville office. Here I was responsible for creating a competitive culture that fostered increased brokerage revenue while growing my own personal book of business. With the help of my team of trainers, recruiters, and sales team leaders, we grew the office from 4 to 80 in 3 years.
