regional vice presidents, and more than a dozen new facility
directors from companies like Amazon, UPS and FedEx to lead the
company’s ecommerce hubs across the U.S.
“We have assembled one of the strongest management teams in the
industry as we head into the peak season,” said Zegras. “The
ecommerce landscape has never experienced more opportunity, or more
complexity. Our first priority for 2021 has been to fortify the
talent on our strategy, operations and transportation teams at the
executive level and in all of our warehouses ahead of peak. We’re
excited about this team and what they will accomplish for our
clients.”

unit’s long-term strategy and played a critical role in the
