Kalamazoo
CEO, Logistics
Corporate Acquirer in Falls Church, United States
Interests: As an individual investor looking for opportunities, I am predominantly interested in acquiring freight forwarding and logistics businesses in the thriving United States market. Specifically, I am targeting long-established, consistently profitable companies that possess growth potential and hold freight forwarder (FF) or non-vessel operating common carrier (NVOCC) licenses—a combination reflecting scalability and resilience in the industry.
Background: Over the span of my 30-year career in the technology sector, I have had the privilege of owning and operating multiple successful ventures, spanning IT services, real estate, construction, and trucking industries. While my tenure in the IT field has been rewarding, it never quite ignited the passion within me that I have long held for international trade.
With this in mind, I ventured into the logistics domain. Our mission is to establish a non-asset third-party logistics (3PL) firm specializing in ocean and air shipments. Leveraging cutting-edge technology such as AI and machine learning, we have developed a platform aimed at streamlining operations and enhancing efficiency. Unlike approaches that solely aim to replace human capital with technology, our strategy is to empower employees by automating mundane tasks, enabling them to deliver a superior customer experience.
