We often talk about the many career paths you can take when entering the freight industry, and Episode 42 of InTek Freight & Logistics: The Podcast features a guest who's taken his start on the docks all the way to company CEO level. Nathan Sanders, most recently CEO overseeing a successful modernization of Brook Furniture Rental, tells us all about his more than 25 year journey, which included specialization in warehousing and the 3PL space to then shipping and logistics oversight before taking the top job at Brook.
He provides insights into how freight and logistics has become a greater priority among executives over the years, with the C-suite now firmly recognizing its importance. Nathan also offers up his analysis of how the furniture market is looking today following his time at both Brook and Ashley Furniture (with a few thoughts on freight as well). And he tells us how he anticipates automation and artificial intelligence (AI) will influence the industry moving forward.
Nathan discusses what he's working on now in the private equity space, and why he freely shares insights into leadership via his LinkedIn account on a regular basis to those who give him a follow. You can be one of those followers by visiting www.linkedin.com/in/sanders-nathan.
