Perch is a leader in a burgeoning segment of e-commerce: “Amazon aggregators”. These such companies have raised <$4bn in the past 18 months from venture and private capital to purchase and operate successful FBA brands. Perch recently brought on Wayfair alum John Esborn to build out its ocean transport division. Esborn joins FreightWaves Sr. Retail Analyst Andrew Cox to discuss what it's been like starting over in the toughest capacity environment he's seen in 30+ years in the industry; lessons from building Wayfair’s ocean freight; and his recent addition to the National Shipper Advisory Council.
