Odyssey is a global leader in providing high-value logistics services and technology solutions to support diverse customer supply-chain requirements with best-in-class multi-modal transportation solutions. Since its inception in 2003, the company has grown by building synergistic business segments that serve specialty end-markets in which technical expertise, a strong track record, and strategic assets create strong barriers to entry. Odyssey is a portfolio company of The Jordan Company ("TJC"), a middle-market private equity firm that has managed funds with original capital commitments in excess of $18 billion since 1987.

Mr. Hancock joined Odyssey in 2010 through the acquisition of Capital Transportation Solutions ("CTS") and served as President & CEO of CTS prior to assuming additional responsibilities on the corporate executive team of Odyssey. He was instrumental in Odyssey's acquisition of AFF Global in 2018 and served as the first Division president for the company, consolidating several business segments that specialized in freight forwarding services and solutions. Mr. Hancock has also been responsible for Corporate Strategy & Development and has been instrumental in several acquisitions that have been highly accretive to the company.

"As we emerge from the pandemic with demand at all-time highs across our business segments, I believe this is the optimal time to transition to a new CEO, and I have the utmost confidence in Keith to continue to drive Odyssey to new heights." Mr. Shellman said. Brian Higgins, a Partner of TJC and member of the Board, added, "Keith has demonstrated a keen ability to drive organic growth and add to Odyssey's global footprint through targeted acquisitions. We appreciate all of Bob Shellman's efforts to bring Odyssey to this stage of growth and share his excitement about the company's future under Keith's leadership."

Mr. Hancock stated "I am incredibly honored to assume the role of CEO for Odyssey, following in the footsteps of our founder Bob Shellman. I want to thank the Board for its confidence in our leadership team and myself to identify and execute on opportunities to provide effective solutions for our customers' logistics needs. I am particularly pleased that Cosmo Alberico has been promoted to President of Odyssey and I look forward to working with him and our talented employees worldwide."
