RENTON, Wash., June 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Radiant Logistics,
Inc. (NYSE American: RLGT), a third party logistics and multimodal
transportation services company, today announced the appointment
of Kristin Toth Smith to its Board of Directors. Ms. Smith
will assume her position with the Board effective immediately and
will further join the Company's Audit and Executive Oversight
Committee at the Company's 2021 annual meeting (expected to be held
in November 2021), where she will
chair the Committee's nominating and corporate governance oversight
functions. The appointment of Ms. Smith as a director results from
a rigorous process to identify a prospective new director in
anticipation of the retirement of Jack
Edwards later this year.
Ms. Smith brings with her a strong background in transportation
and logistics, with an emphasis on emerging e-commerce and
last-mile platforms. She currently serves as President and Chief
Operating Officer and Board Member at Fernish, a furniture and home
decor subscription service, and previously held leadership
positions at start-up ventures including Zulily, an omnichannel
e-commerce platform and Dolly, an on-demand last-mile delivery
and moving service. Prior to her extensive startup experience,
Smith led several teams at Amazon in operations and retail,
including inbound transportation, same-day delivery, Movies &
Television and the demand side of the business of Amazon's digital
music team, including Marketing, Product Management, Site
Merchandising, Pricing, Business Development, and Design teams
responsible for the launch of Amazon's digital music cloud-based
offering. Before joining Amazon, Smith held various leadership
positions at Dell Computer Corp., where she led various teams to
build technology infrastructure and software for the radical
re-design of desktop manufacturing and supply chain.
Smith is an active volunteer and dedicates time helping others
succeed through education, coaching, advisory positions, and
mentoring. She serves on a number of non-profit boards as well as
several advisory boards for startups (mostly women-founded and -led
companies). Smith is the Board Chair for University of Michigan's Center for
Entrepreneurship, was a contributing author for Women in
Tech (Sasquatch Books), and enjoys public speaking, coaching,
and teaching.
Smith holds a BSE and MSE in Industrial Engineering &
Operations Research from the Tauber Institute for Global Operations
at the University of Michigan, a SM in
Civil and Environmental Engineering from MIT and an MBA from MIT's
Sloan School of Management through the Leaders for Global
Operations fellowship program.
Says Smith: "Radiant has enjoyed a consistent trajectory of
profitable growth and I am excited to join the Board and contribute
to its continued success as the company continues to scale. I am
also looking forward to the opportunity to help advance the
Company's efforts around environmental, social and governance
issues that are becoming increasing important in our world
today."
"We are pleased to welcome Kristin to our Board of Directors,"
said Bohn Crain, Founder and CEO.
"Kristin has been a pioneer in every organization fortunate enough
