The Freight Pod

Ep. #9: Meredith Neizer


Listen Later

With Andrew attending the Freightwaves conference in Chattanooga, we start the episode sharing stories of our experiences at industry conferences. We talk about what it's like to be a broker and shipper at these events, and how to make the most of your time when attending. 

Our guest for the episode is Meredith Neizer, Chief Logistics Officer at Armada. Meredith has had a fascinating career in the industry, but taking it back to her youth, we talk about how she broke barriers as the first female to ever attend the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. This set the tone for the rest of her career, as she came into a male-dominated industry and found ways time and again to break glass ceilings for herself. 

We talk about the value of mentorship, networking, and taking chances on yourself. Meredith highlights how a solid network can be a game-changer in one's career trajectory. We also delve into the need for increased diversity in the logistics industry and the steps necessary to achieve it. From exploring the latest innovations in supply chain solutions to discussing effective sales strategies in freight, this episode provides a wealth of knowledge. So, buckle up for an episode brimming with inspiring stories, valuable advice, and game-changing experiences.
