About

Being an entrepreneur and LogTech startup ecosystem builder, I'm  committed to reshape the future of logistics to help people & companies grow.  Through the years I discovered my passion for technology and its impact on  international trade & logistics. Prior to founding FreightBro (now Freightify), I spent 10+years in the international logistics industry and worked for world's largest logistics brands including #1 freight forwarding company DHL and #1 container transportation group Maersk.  I'm passionate about LogTech innovations and sustainable living.
