”Marcello brings us a unique combination of leadership, business acumen and agile process expertise,” said Capella. “I am confident in his ability in this new role to advance the company towards our vision of becoming the number one platform for digital logistics execution by 2023, by further developing our strategy and doubling down on a useful process that keeps the customer at the forefront of everything we do.”

Whitcraft and Mastioni join the team of Loadsmart executives in the midst of deploying its $200 million Series D raised in January 2022 at a $1.3 billion valuation following a Q4 of 2021 that saw the freight technology company acquire Opendock and Kamion, a leading dock scheduling software and truck management system, respectively.
