Hear ODW Logistics' CEO, John R Ness share how focusing on employees, automation, and growth has fueled the company to be a leading North American 3PL
Columbus, OH The Columbus Chamber of Commerce hosted its 2019 Annual Meeting, InspireUS, last week at the Greater Columbus Convention Center.
Attendees heard from three distinct keynote speakers as they shared their relevant and inspiring stories via separate Ted Talk-style presentations. From a social enterprise focused on connecting economic and community development to a premiere third-party supply chain solutions provider specializing in integrated logistics solutions, and a new science, technology, engineering, arts and math center for innovation, the InspireUS keynotes delivered unique stories of dedication and persistence directly from some of central Ohio's most relevant leaders.
ODW Logistics' CEO John R. Ness delivered one of the three keynote speeches. The 10-minute TED-style talk shared how the company has evolved and grown into a leading third-party logistics (3PL) company. Hear John speak to how investing in the company's employees, integrating technology and automation into the supply chain, and implementing a strategic growth plan has allowed ODW Logistics to compete in a competitive market and "Deliver the Difference" to its clients.
