GREENWICH, Conn. - March 13, 2018
- XPO Logistics (NYSE: XPO), the largest provider of last mile
logistics for heavy goods in North America, today announced that
Mario Harik, chief information officer, will be a featured speaker
at Home Delivery World 2018.
Harik will discuss the critical role of technology
in enhancing the consumer experience in an on-demand economy, at

The annual Home Delivery World conference attracts leaders from

providers, subscription service companies and delivery
specialists.
Troy Cooper, chief operating officer of XPO
Logistics, said, "Technology and data are the foremost advantages
in today's competitive e-commerce environment. An increasingly
consumer-centric supply chain must provide clear visibility and
accountability, from the moment a product is ordered through
fulfillment and home delivery. Mario is a thought leader on supply
chain consumerization and he's the driving force behind our own
innovations in this area."
