* What are common problems you see across different industries?

* How do you solve a problem? What do you look for?

* What are key challenges that the mining industry has with its supply chain?

* How has the increasing pace of change and technology impacted or disrupted your clients?

Built on the Ethereum blockchain with smart contract technology, the Move app is simple, powerful and engineered to scale. Trial runs have forecasted a 20% savings compared to legacy logistics technology.

The distributed ledgers, immutable records, and decentralised access offered by blockchain renders the technology an ideal catalyst for evolution of global supply chain models. MOVA leverages the Ethereum blockchain to link producers and shipping providers with automated Smart Contracts, track goods real-time with MOVA GPS, and exact instant payments with built in incentivisation mechanisms.

Our vision is to make every truck on the road more efficient, increasing competition and decreasing carbon footprint. A half-filled truck is not good for the customer, the vendor, or the environment. The Movement Ecosystem will provide the global platform to fill that truck by linking producers, movers, retailers and consumers to access and auction cost effective logistics capacity and real world performance data to drive businesses forward.

Our growth strategy is simple. The MOVA Platform is free to access, and generates real world savings for our customers. MOVA charges a fee for each transaction that is a fraction of the measurable cash benefit our customers receive.

Holly Martyn’s life has been a miraculous mish-mash of hard knocks, hard work and great adventures. Growing up Mormon in a broken home she was eventually placed in foster care until her high school graduation. Determined not to let her disadvantaged beginning ruin the rest of her life, at eighteen years old she bought a one-way ticket to Tel Aviv and with three hundred dollars in her pocket, set off on a solo journey to the Middle East and Europe, until finally finding her way to New York where she became a successful Wall Street executive.

Holly is a graduate of Columbia University and has studied writing at the University of Iowa’s Writers Workshop, Oxford University, University of Cambridge and holds a Master of Fine Arts Degree in Creative Writing from Queens University of Charlotte. Now a writer and mother, she lives in Connecticut and California with her daughter and dog.

She’s a MILF/cougar on adventures, telling her stories with a quirky, comic tone and feminist and spiritual underpinnings. When she’s at home in Connecticut she volunteers at her kid’s school and bakes banana bread. When her child visits her father, Holly hits the road, living an adventurous life. While she’s in search of a potential mate, that’s not her primary goal. She’s curious, wants to understand people, and more than anything, she wants to hear new stories.
