DAT Freight & Analytics

Regional Vice President of Shipper Sales 

As a consistently top-performing Enterprise Account Executive at DAT Freight & Analytics, I help manufacturing shippers use data and market intelligence to improve their logistics networks. I focus on building strong client relationships and delivering value through smart, data-driven strategies.

Here’s how I make an impact:

Benchmarking TL and LTL Rates: I use DAT's extensive data to help clients benchmark their truckload (TL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) rates, both for spot and contract markets, so they can find cost savings and stay competitive.

Forecasting Freight Rates: I provide 52-week forecasts for TL spot and contract rates, helping clients plan ahead, anticipate market changes, and adjust their strategies proactively.

Strategic Procurement: I work with clients to develop the best procurement strategies based on data analysis and market trends, ensuring they know when to act and how to measure success.

Finding New Capacity: I assist shippers in finding new capacity specific to their lanes and networks, ensuring they have the resources they need to meet demand.

Negotiating Smarter: By sharing insights on market dynamics and capacity availability, I help clients negotiate better terms with brokers and carriers, leading to stronger partnerships.

Managing RFPs: I guide clients through preparing and executing Requests for Proposal (RFPs) to secure the best bids and choose the right partners for their logistics needs.

Pricing Competitively: I analyze how clients’ pricing compares to that of their industry peers, providing insights that help them stay competitive and make informed decisions.

Supporting Leadership: I provide valuable context to senior leadership, customers, and suppliers, which helps in strategic planning and maintaining transparency across the supply chain.

Helping enterprise shippers in automotive, oil & gas, and industrial manufacturing turn market data into a competitive advantage.

Most shippers leave money on the table because they lack real-time, lane-level benchmarking data. That’s where I come in.

🔹 Make smarter freight decisions – Use $150B+ in annual data contributions to negotiate better rates.
🔹 Optimize procurement strategies – Gain visibility into contract vs. spot trends to stay ahead of the market.
🔹 Benchmark against the best – See how your network compares to top performers in your industry.

I don’t just sell data.  I help companies unlock hidden savings, strengthen carrier relationships, and drive real ROI.

Let's talk if your team still relies on gut instinct instead of market intelligence.
