Freightos Expands Board of Directors with Rotem Hershko and Udo Lange Appointments

Freightos has expanded its board of directors with Rotem Hershko and appointed Udo Lange as Chairman. Hershko brings platform and technology expertise from leadership roles at Amazon and Maersk, while Lange has over 30 years of logistics leadership spanning international, ground, courier, and contract logistics. The appointments strengthen Freightos' digital freight vision and position the company as a key innovator in the digital logistics space.

Freightos, the leading vendor-neutral global freight booking and payment platform, has expanded its board of directors with significant appointments. Rotem Hershko has joined as a Director, bringing extensive platform and technology expertise from leadership roles at Amazon and Maersk. Additionally, Udo Lange has been appointed Non-Executive Chairman, leveraging his over 30 years of logistics leadership spanning international, ground, courier, and contract logistics [1].

Hershko's background includes managing multibillion-dollar P&Ls at Amazon Global and leading digital transformation at Maersk. His experience in bridging technology and logistics directly aligns with Freightos' platform business model, which aims to create a neutral digital platform connecting the entire value chain [2].

Lange, who has been a Freightos board member since 2019, has over 30 years of logistics leadership. His experience includes senior roles at FedEx, membership on the FedEx Senior Management Committee, and advising the White House Supply Chain Disruption Task Force. His appointment as Chairman underscores Freightos' commitment to deep industry expertise and government-level connections [1].

These appointments come at a time when Freightos is demonstrating sustained platform growth, with an annualized run rate exceeding 1.5 million platform transactions after 22 consecutive quarters of growth [2]. The company's recent strategic acquisition of Shipsta and the launch of Freightos Enterprise reflect its dual-track strategy of expanding technological capabilities and enterprise customer base.

The new board members are expected to strengthen Freightos' ability to execute on enterprise customer acquisition and platform expansion strategies, positioning the company as a key innovator in the digital logistics space.
