RENTON,
Wash., Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Radiant
Logistics, Inc. (NYSE American: RLGT), today announced the
appointment of industry veteran Laurent Grousseau as its Senior
Vice President and Chief Technology Officer ("CTO"). Mr. Grousseau,
age 56, brings with him over 30 years of experience in leading
technology development, infrastructure and support teams in
the transportation and logistics industry. As CTO, Grousseau will
lead the company's continued enhancement of its information systems
while supporting the ultimate migration of acquired companies and
additional strategic operating partners to a common set of
back-office and customer-facing applications, including the
continued deployment of Navegate, the company's proprietary global
trade management and collaboration platform. He will report to
Founder and CEO Bohn Crain.
Mr. Grousseau most recently served as Chief Information Officer
of Pilot Freight Services, Inc, (acquired by Maersk in 2022), a
U.S.-based domestic and international freight forwarder that
historically operated using a combination of company owned and
agent-based operating partners. Before joining Pilot in 2021, he
spent four years as EVP IT and CIO Americas for CEVA Logistics.
Before that, he served as VP Global Datacenter & Infrastructure
and several other senior roles over an eight-year period at Kuehne
+ Nagel, Inc.
"Laurent has a broad range of technical, interpersonal, and
managerial skills from working at various companies within our
industry, where he has been instrumental in providing the
technology vision, strategy, and leadership to run and scale
tech-forward transportation and logistics organizations," said
Crain. "We have found a leader who not only understands the
complexities of delivering technology to support an acquisitive
third-party logistics company such as ourselves, but also shares
our commitment to customer success and product innovation as we
continue to grow and deliver new tech-enabled solutions to help
provide our customers competitive advantage."
"I have been impressed by Radiant's disciplined growth over the
years and their commitment to technology as a competitive
differentiator," said Grousseau. "I am particularly interested in
working with the leadership team to advance the Navegate global
trade management and collaboration platform across Radiant's
broader forwarding network, as well as exploring how we can deploy
emerging technologies that will accelerate our ability to scale and
continuously deliver customer value." Mr. Grousseau holds a
M.S. in Computer Science Engineering, Industrial Network and
Development, ESAIP Engineer School, France and a Bachelor's in Electronic
Engineering, IUT Angers, France.
Mr. Grousseau is stepping into the role of CTO in connection
with the planned retirement of Mark
