Harbor Logistics adds 2 executives to leadership team

Harbor Logistics has added two experienced logistics and transportation professionals to its leadership team with the hiring of Park Williams as senior vice president of sales and Jeff Martin as vice president of transportation.

Williams brings more than two decades of experience in global logistics, supply chain strategy and business development leadership. In his new role, he will lead enterprise sales, revenue development and customer growth initiatives across Harbor’s service portfolio, according to the company.

Prior to joining Harbor Logistics, Williams held various roles, both in sales and operations, with Mallory Alexander, GXO Logistics and PSA BDP, where he led business development and sales efforts across North and Latin America. Throughout his career, he has built and led high-performing sales organizations while helping clients navigate increasingly complex supply chain environments, according to a news release.

Martin joins Harbor Logistics with extensive experience leading large-scale transportation and fleet operations across multiple markets and industries. As vice president of transportation, he will oversee the company’s transportation operations, with responsibility for compliance, operational performance, driver development and network growth.

Martin previously served in leadership roles with Keenan Advantage Group, Trimac Transportation, Maines Paper & Foodservice, Rite Aid and Panera Bread. Over the course of his career, he has managed multi-site transportation networks, led operational integrations and implemented performance initiatives focused on reliability, accountability and efficiency, the release said.

“Park and Jeff each bring a tremendous depth of operational and industry experience that aligns well with where Harbor Logistics is headed as a company,” CEO Scott Auslund said in the release. “Park has a strong track record of building relationships and a practical, end‑to‑end understanding of customer supply chain challenges, while Jeff has consistently led complex transportation operations with a focus on performance, safety and team development. We’re excited to welcome both of them to Harbor.”

Williams said Harbor Logistics’ reputation and long-term vision made the opportunity especially compelling.

“Harbor has built a strong foundation and a highly respected operation,” Williams said in the release. “What stood out to me was the company’s commitment to relationships, responsiveness and delivering practical solutions for customers. I’m looking forward to helping build on that momentum and supporting the company’s long-term growth.”

Martin said he was drawn to Harbor Logistics’ operational mindset and growth trajectory.

“This is a company that understands the importance of execution and investing in people,” Martin said in the release. “There’s a strong team here and a clear focus on building scalable operations the right way. I’m excited to work alongside everyone to continue strengthening the transportation side of the business and supporting future growth.”
