Sennder continues to expand its management

At the beginning of May, the start-up brought a new head of operations on board. Adeola Ogunwole has now joined the team.

Sennder only became a unicorn in January, and May is all about expanding the management team. At the beginning of the month, the logistics start-up announced the creation of the position of Chief Operating Officer and is now bringing Adeola Ogunwole on board as Senior Director Marketing and Communications. Her main task will be to raise awareness of the Sennder brand. According to her LinkedIn profile, she has been working for Sennder since April.

"The company has already built a strong reputation as an innovator and industry leader in digital freight forwarding. I am excited about the opportunity to further develop Sennder into a global brand and strengthen our connection with carriers and shippers," says Ogunwole about her new role. The Harvard graduate has 20 years of experience in developing scalable marketing strategies, most recently at Here Technologies, Channel Advisor and Hult International.

"Adeola has a proven track record of scaling marketing teams and is passionate about our vision - to digitize the transportation sector and make logistics fit for a sustainable future," says Sennder COO Tom Christenson. "I look forward to working with her."

Sennder achieved unicorn status in January with a 160 million dollar funding round. Founded in 2015, the start-up claims to offer an all-inclusive program for logistics companies. In addition to the new personnel, Sennder is expanding its distribution network by 12,500 trucks. In August, former Kühne+Nagel manager Nicholas Minde will take up the newly created position of Chief Operating Officer at Sennder.
