As Founder and former CEO of Shipware, it's been my pleasure and honor to lead the organization from a start-up through its award-winning growth and success. Shipware continues to be a market leader, widely recognized as THE premier brand in Parcel/LTL/3PL cost reduction, invoice audit and payment, carrier mix optimization, and transportation spend management analytics. Following the 2021 acquisition of Shipware by SIB Holdings, in Jan 2023, we promoted a new President to operate Shipware's business, and I'm enjoying a new role that's focused on corporate strategy & profitability, as well as leadership development and succession planning. I'm also a key investor in SIB Holdings and an active member of the Board of Directors. Shipware's future, along with SIB Fixed Cost Reduction and other portfolio entities, is extremely bright!
