SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Slync, the enterprise blockchain platform for the shipping, logistics and supply chain industries, has appointed Samuel Israel – one of the most successful and experienced executives in the logistics market – to its advisory board. As a regional CEO, Israel led DHL Global Forwarding for more than 10 years, where he built a multibillion-dollar logistics organization in Latin America.
“At Slync, we are committed to building an elite team globally,” said Slync CEO and Co-founder Chris Kirchner. “Samuel is the latest example of how serious we are about recruiting and acquiring the best people available to join our quest to revolutionize the global supply chain.”
