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.

("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.
