YRC Worldwide Launches New Industry-centric Sales Verticals
February 18 2020 - 10:30AM
YRC Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: YRCW) announced the next phase of
its Enterprise Transformation by expanding its industry focused
sales strategy into three new industry verticals: (1)
manufacturing, automotive and energy; (2) retail, consumer goods
and ecommerce; and (3) healthcare and life sciences. The depth and
longevity of YRCW’s expertise in these verticals align with its
stated long-term strategy of improved customer service and
engagement backed by customized supply chain solutions.
“In response to the ever-changing market and in an effort to
play to our strengths, we are taking a surgical approach to focus
on verticals where we have shown a clear ability to execute and
demonstrable core competencies,” said Jason Bergman, Chief Customer
Officer. “Our expertise in these industries allows us to provide
the customized supply chain solutions customers need, and our
emphasis on serving customers’ shipping and logistics needs within
these three strategic verticals will make YRCW increasingly easy to
do business with. Our entire portfolio of brands is accessed
through one single point of contact with specific expertise in key
markets that are essential to our growth.”
YRCW is simultaneously expanding its business development
efforts around these three verticals with the promotion of
Christopher Greenberg to Corporate Vice President of Strategic
Accounts. Greenberg will be responsible for a growing
business development team with specific industry expertise devoted
to better serving our customers in those verticals and expanding
our service offering to each. Most recently, Greenberg served as
Director of Corporate Accounts, Business Development at YRCW, and
prior to that, was Vice President of Sales for Dicom Transportation
Group and Director of Sales and Operations at Tax Airfreight,
Inc.
“The execution of this change and resulting focus combined with
our commitment to building Christopher’s team signifies a strategic
investment both directionally and monetarily to position YRCW for
future growth and continued innovation in customer engagement,”
said Tim Haitz, Vice President of Corporate Sales. “YRCW’s new
sales structure creates a focus and intensity on industries where
we already have deep experience and relationships. We look forward
to continuing to creatively solve our customers’ needs and
furthering our reputation as a trustworthy and reliable partner for
our customers’ transportation needs.”
