BELLEVILLE, Mich., Aug. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascent Global Logistics, Inc. ("Ascent" or the "company") has announced the formation of a new Board of Directors, which now includes independent directors Cordia Harrington, founder and CEO of The Bakery Cos., and Jim Van Leenan, former CEO of Flash Global Logistics and USPack Logistics. Additionally, Christopher L. Doerr has moved from the Roadrunner Transportation Systems, Inc. ("Roadrunner") Board to the Ascent Board, contemporaneous with the company's previously announced spin-off.
"I am thrilled to leverage the experience and knowledge of Cordia and Jim, along with the continued valued advice of Christopher, as Ascent comes into its own as a stand-alone logistics platform," said Chris Jamroz, Executive Chairman of Ascent. "The Board and the executive leadership team will undoubtedly benefit from the counsel and input of such strong leaders in the logistics and transportation sector."
Cordia Harrington is founder and CEO of The Bakery Cos., which makes over eight million baked goods daily and employs more than 600 people, serving elite customers in the United States, Caribbean and South America. Her businesses include Bakery Express (trucking) and Cold Storage of Nashville, a freezer facility. Harrington's focus on regulations, culture, sustainability, employee policies and development have led the company to grow organically into an award-winning high-speed bakery enterprise.
