“The Board is confident Pablo is the right leader to guide Freightos through its next phase of growth,” said Udo Lange, Chairman of the Board. “Throughout his tenure as CFO and Interim CEO, Pablo has demonstrated a deep understanding of our business, as well as the strategic and operational discipline necessary to scale Freightos in a complex global market. His experience in high-growth technology environments and his proven leadership within Freightos gave the Board unanimous confidence in his ability to lead the company, shape its next phase of profitable growth, and continue advancing our vision for digitalizing global freight.”
“I am honored to be appointed CEO of Freightos and to join the Board of Directors,” said Pablo Pinillos. “Leading this talented team is a privilege, and I am fully committed to the monumental task of digitalizing international freight to improve global trade. My focus remains on disciplined execution, delivering on our shorter-term commitments, including reaching financial break even in Q4 of this year, while positioning us for long-term growth. As I shared in our last earnings call, in the near term we will focus on expanding our solutions business, leading our expansion into both ocean and procurement management, as well as deepening our engagement with customers, and converting that momentum into durable transaction growth across the platform. We have built a category-defining platform, and I look forward to building on this as we expand its role across global freight.”
With Pablo’s appointment, the company is initiating a search for a Chief Financial Officer.
