“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.”
