15+ years experience building software in the Transportation & Logistics industry. I started getting involved in transporation when I was in high school. My dad ran operations for an intermodal company focused on import and exports. I held a part-time job there unloading trucks, cleaning the shop and performing other small jobs. I was exposed to highly complex intermodal solutions at a young age which gave me a solid baseline understanding of transportation and supply chain. After college, I joined a startup company called Kuebix that was transforming from a 3PL into a technology provider. At Kuebix, I helped develop and implement shipper TMS solutions and it was there that I learned of the immense value that technology can bring to an antiqauted transportation industry. We were able to disrupt the TMS market with a modern SaaS product that was able to scale down to smaller businesses. I held various leadership positions at Kuebix in Operations, Implementation, and Product Management. Kuebix would later go on to be acquired by Trimble which is where I've been ever since.At Trimble, I served as the voice of the shipper at a company that is mostly focused on asset-based transportation. I helped our carriers and the folks building our carrier software better understand the perspective of their customers, the shippers. Having spent nearly 5 years now at Trimble, I've been able to gain a wealth of knowledge on carriers and how they operate. Now, leveraging knowledge drawn from both sides of the market, I'm driving a new vision for TMS that focuses on the interoperability of workflows between our Trimble carriers and their partner systems, whether that is a shipper or a third party repair shop.
