An incredible way to mark 7 years with an incredible company. And with that, here are my 7 reasons of why I stay in love with Flexport: 1. I get to work with insanely smart, talented, diverse and fun people. 2. There's an unrelenting opportunity to learn every single day. 3. Growth is synonymous with Flexport, a testament to our relentless pursuit of progress and excellence. 4. We've only just begun; with best-in-class tech and AI in its infancy, the future is unimaginably exciting. 5. We partner with visionary customers who choose us because they share our vision for the future of logistics. 6. We play the long game, dive deep, and operate with humility. 7. We get to build every day—careers, processes, partnerships, customer relations. Each of us believes in the mission: to make global trade so easy there is more of it. P.S. I am hiring for Account Executives in the UK & Benelux. If you are early into your supply chain sales career and any 1 of the 7 is appealing to you, then please get in touch

Great night last night at the TechSec Leadership: Dallas Networking Evening event facilitated by Kodi Connect LLC. We did some great networking with great people from companies around the DFW Metroplex area. Shout out to the vendors and presenter for a great job! The presentations by, and discussion with, the vendors present at the event were valuable. The discussions highlighted the growing threats and growing solutions in the Cybersecurity space as the bad guys use new technologies and methods to accomplish their goals. At the same time, it exposed the great work done in the security space to help make our world safer. The work continues and new solutions are becoming available. One of the thoughts that kept coming back up in my mind is the role humans play in keeping things safe or not. Awareness goes a long way. As we wrap up Cybersecurity Awareness Month I would urge everyone to keep the awareness up.  Both in your personal life and business environments. This awareness month should carry through and become part of daily life. Be diligent, don’t relax, and keep in mind this is true: A little awareness goes a long way to avoid trouble later.

Two of our leaders, Adel Strauss and Anthony DeGraw, presented on the topic of "Practical Applications of Artificial Intelligence" at Encore Consumer Capital's 2024 Leadership Conference in Chicago this week.

If you are interested in having Integris present on the topic of AI, reach out to us!

Absolutely correct, I could not agree more on that. Teach your team how they can be a multi skill personal through mentoring them and upskilling them. Trust them in their roles and guide them where they are suppose to focus on instead of being a dictator or superman.
