Freightos, the leading vendor-neutral global freight booking and payment platform, announced that Udo Lange, who joined the board in 2019, was appointed Non-Executive Chairman and that Rotem Hershko joined as a Director, both effective July 28, 2025.
Lange, currently CEO of Oslo-listed Stolt-Nielsen and a Freightos board member since 2019, has over 30 years of logistics leadership spanning international, ground, courier, and contract logistics. His experience includes roles as FedEx President of Healthcare, Logistics and Americas International, membership on the FedEx Senior Management Committee, and advising the White House Supply Chain Disruption Task Force.
“I am honoured that Zvi and the Freightos Board elected me as non-executive chairman,” said Lange. Together with Zvi and the Freightos team, the board and I are excited to continue to steer the company on its next chapter for end-to-end global freight digitisation, spanning shippers, forwarders and carriers. Freightos’ recent strategic acquisition of Shipsta and launch of Freightos Enterprise reflect the company’s role as the leading digital logistics platform, positioning it as a key innovator in the digital logistics space.”
Hershko joins the board with a unique combination of platform, technology and logistics expertise from leadership roles at Maersk and Amazon. As Director of Product at Amazon Global, he owned multibillion-dollar P&Ls spanning global e-commerce operations. Afterwards, as Chief Product Officer at A.P. Moller – Maersk, he led a pivotal digital transformation while building a digital product organization of thousands. He currently serves as Senior Advisor at McKinsey & Company.
“Rotem’s transformative platform experience at Amazon and Maersk brings a unique perspective on the intersection of technology, logistics and the platform at the heart of Freightos,” said Zvi Schreiber, CEO of Freightos. “Combined with Udo’s elevation to Chairman after years of invaluable contributions to our board, these appointments will strengthen our board of directors as we scale our digital platform.”
“Throughout my career, I’ve focused on better connecting the world through technology and logistics innovation,” said Hershko. “I’m excited to contribute to Freightos’ mission to create the neutral digital platform that connects the entire value chain, making global trade more efficient and accessible for businesses of all sizes.”
Freightos has continued to make strides in connecting players across the supply chain, recently announcing an annualised run rate of over 1.5 million platform transactions, following 22 quarters of consecutive transaction growth. The company also continues to add key customers, including forwarders, airlines, ground providers, and multinational BCOs, and recently launched its Freightos Enterprise solution for multinational importers and exporters.
