@gvantsajaniashvili
Operations and logistics leader with proven success in building networks, managing freight, and driving business growth.
What I'm looking for
I am an operations and logistics professional with hands-on experience launching and scaling transportation networks, managing end-to-end freight operations, and leading cross-functional teams. I combine practical dispatch and carrier management skills with a strong focus on contract negotiation and partner acquisition.
At NKL Logistics I led the launch and full operational build-out, personally recruiting and onboarding 150+ drivers and securing contracts with major firms such as Amazon, UPS, FedEx, C.H. Robinson, Kuehne + Nagel, XPO, and Schneider. I managed daily freight operations, finances, and issue resolution to ensure reliable service delivery.
Previously, as a Freight Operations Specialist at Routestar LLC, I handled bookings through delivery, acted as the primary contact for drivers, dispatchers, and brokers, and took on contracts, compliance, and insurance responsibilities. My work emphasized clear communication, problem solving, and negotiation of accessorial charges.
I also have customer-facing experience in sales and teaching roles, bringing strong communication, persuasion, and instructional skills. I am committed to operational excellence, team leadership, and continuous improvement in fast-paced environments.
