A logistics and transportation professional with more than 25 years of experience, Deno brings executive perspective from both the supplier, financial and operational sides of the industry.
"We're excited to welcome Wayne to our team as we continue to expand our offerings to customers in the commercial trucking industry," said Michael Gould, chief operating officer at Zonar. "He brings an unparalleled point-of-view into how transportation executives expect to drive profitability across their operations – including how they partner and collaborate with vendors to maintain an edge on their competitors. As a supplier ourselves, this knowledge will be instrumental in expanding how we approach, engage and uphold the highest customer service in the industry."
Deno's experience comes from both working at large and small transportation companies and working for a supplier in the transportation industry.
