LinkAmerica Announces New VP of Information Technology
Ft. Worth, TX (April 3, 2012) - LinkAmerica Corporation, a regional asset based transportation and logistics services provider, today announced the appointment of Chris Rhodes as Vice President of Information Technology.
Mr. Rhodes joins LinkAmerica in this senior management role with over twenty years of IT experience that includes CEVA Logistics and Greatwide Logistics. He will be responsible for infrastructure, technology support, and the transformation of the application technologies that enable LinkAmerica’s growth. “Technology as one of the pillars of the business is essential to grow and develop competitive advantages, especially as the industry moves to real time information exchange with customers,” said Rhodes. “Providers that neglect this will continue to decline in both revenues and customers as shippers’ technology requirements increase.”
“Chris’ expertise in the transportation and logistics industry is a critical addition to the LinkAmerica management team. His experience in companies that expanded during his tenure will help us in meeting our expansion goals,” said John Simone, president and CEO of LinkAmerica. Value added technology to meet our customer’s needs is a key element of our growth plans over the next five years.”
