Together, they built a company that made extensive use of software to help shippers manage their freight. “Even as GlobalTranz grew into a massive success, I always knew there was a need for a private freight marketplace,” Andrew Leto said in the statement from Emerge. “And we have the best team in the industry growing this platform.” Besides Andrew and Michael, Jack Holmes, a retired CEO of UPS Freight, is vice chairman and Grant Crawford, a former FedEx Corp.
