“Montway sits at a fascinating intersection of logistics and technology, and the opportunity here is tremendous,” said Pellegrino. “My goal is for finance to serve as the economic engine room, a navigator identifying the most profitable routes for Montway's future.”

ACERTUS named Kilpatrick as the chief revenue officer (CRO); she will lead all revenue-generating functions, aligning sales, business development, and marketing. She has nearly 30 years of experience, including leadership roles at UPS.

“As CRO, Jami will focus on deepening ACERTUS’ customer relationships and ensuring our commercial execution is built to scale for the long term,” said Michael DeLuca, CEO of ACERTUS.

“There is a tremendous opportunity to strengthen execution, better align our teams and deliver a more consistent, high-quality experience for our customers,” said Kilpatrick. “By staying relentlessly focused on our customers and how we serve them, we are well-positioned to accelerate growth and lead the future of automotive logistics.”

The role is focused on improving inventory visibility, cost control, and logistics efficiency. He brings 25+ years of experience, including 15 years at CARFAX.
