Transporeon, a leading Transportation Management Platform, has appointed David Landau as Chief Network and Strategy Officer. Landau, described as a savvy supply chain expert, shares Transporeon’s mission to bring transportation in sync with the world and envisions the role of an intelligent platform acting as the operating system of large transportation networks in the cloud.

Landau will be instrumental in accelerating the growth of Transporeon’s powerful global freight network of 1,400+ shippers and 145,000+ carriers, creating a vibrant ecosystem and helping shippers, load recipients, service providers, freight forwarders and carriers connect, communicate, collaborate and share data to realise operational benefits, new business opportunities, unlock data value and reduce carbon emissions.

“I am thrilled to welcome David to our Transporeon family,” comments Stephan Sieber, CEO of Transporeon. “With his great experience David is a perfect addition to the Transporeon team. I am delighted that he decided to join us and will work with our team to further drive our mission of bringing transportation in sync with the world.”

Landau joins Transporeon with extensive experience at companies such as Manhattan Associates, Cloud Logistics and, most recently, serving as Chief Product Officer at BluJay Solutions.

Landau adds: “I’ve always admired the team, mission and success of Transporeon. Transportation is, after all, an ecosystem. Transporeon has developed one of the largest logistics networks in the world, which gives it unparalleled connectivity, data and capabilities. To be part of the team that will lead the continued growth of the ecosystem to the benefit of shippers, logistics service providers and the environment is a true honour.”

David Landau replaces Thomas Einsiedler, who is moving on to explore new endeavours after 10 years of dedicated leadership at Transporeon. Landau and Einsiedler will ensure a smooth handover in the coming months. For the first quarter of 2023, Einsiedler will drive selected strategic projects for Transporeon.

“Thomas’s achievements for our product and network organisation deserve my fullest appreciation and great thanks. Up until his departure he will remain an important contributor to our success, and I am looking forward to continuing my work with him”, adds Sieber.

Global supply chain visibility platform FourKites has seen significant EMEA momentum and has thus hired industry veteran Marc Boileau as part of its aggressive growth strategy in the region.

Marc Boileau joins FourKites as Senior Vice President, Sales and Carrier Operations, EMEA. Boileau will accelerate the company’s European expansion, bringing tenured supply chain experience and an aggressive strategy to build partnerships with both carriers and shippers. Prior to joining FourKites, Marc held leadership and commercial roles at supply chain visibility companies, including project44 and Transporean.

“I am thrilled to be joining the FourKites team,” says Boileau. “With the biggest global brands on its platform and the largest data network in the industry, FourKites is driving unmatched innovation and a truly global end-to-end visibility experience. One of my top priorities is to build our network of carriers — including small and mid-size carriers — to ensure the value they get is in line with the value they bring. They are truly the unsung heroes in our ecosystem.”

“FourKites is investing more than €45m in our European expansion this year, both through organic growth and acquisitions, and Marc joining us is the latest milestone in this strategy,” says Mathew Elenjickal, founder and CEO of FourKites. “He is an excellent fit with the team, and his deep knowledge of the industry will help to propel our European presence to new heights.”

As the pandemic and an unprecedented series of disruptions continue to challenge global supply chains, including a European energy crisis, food shortages, labour shortages and more, European and multinational companies continue to turn to FourKites to track goods from origin to final destination to reduce costs, improve the customer experience and maximise business agility.

Over the last 12 months, the company has seen:

148% growth in shipments in EMEA, with over 850+ million miles tracked in 2021 to date
A nearly 100% increase in new or existing FourKites customers starting to track loads in EMEA
More than 35% growth in number of carriers tracking loads in Europe
2.5x growth in monthly less than truckload (LTL) volume in Europe
