CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Leading


Priya Rajagopalan leads FourKitesโ€™ Product, Engineering and Customer functions, with the goal of aligning customer needs and the companyโ€™s innovation engine to drive maximum customer value. Rajagopalan joined FourKites seven years ago as Chief Product Officer, bringing with her a wealth of experience in product management from various startups and public companies. Currently, Rajagopalan also serves on the Board of Directors of Brambles (ASX: BXB), the supply-chain logistics company operating across 60 countries through the CHEP brand. A testament to her industry contributions, she has been named an SDCE Pros to Know, and one of The Software Reportโ€™s Top 25 Software Product Executives.

Under Rajagopalanโ€™s direction, FourKites has rolled out a number of industry-first product innovations, including real-time facility manager Dynamic Yard; end-to-end international ocean shipments tracker Dynamic Ocean; generative AI assistant Fin AI; patented AI-powered ETA forecaster Smart Forecasted Arrival; universal appointment scheduler Appointment Manager; and others.

โ€œFourKites defined and created the supply chain visibility category, and innovating with customers has been, and continues to be part of our companyโ€™s DNA,โ€ said Rajagopalan. โ€œThis alignment allows us to innovate and execute at even greater speed to ensure successful deployment and adoption across our customers.”

Ron Richardson returns to FourKites as CRO, where he leads Sales, Partners and Alliances to drive FourKitesโ€™ global momentum. Ron recently served as CRO at OneRail, a solution that has redefined last-mile delivery, as well as CRO at Turvo, where he helped scale the company revenue and position it for a successful exit. Previously, Richardson was one of FourKitesโ€™ first employees, where he was instrumental in creating the real-time transportation visibility platform (RTTVP) category, building the business and closing some of the companyโ€™s earliest customer deals, including Coca-Cola, Nestlรฉ and many more.

โ€œI am thrilled to come back home to FourKites โ€” returning to the market-leading company and the industry category I helped pioneer,โ€ said Richardson. โ€œI look forward to building on the momentum the team and I jump-started in the early years, driving growth and success among our Fortune 500 enterprise customers who continue to see massive value with the FourKites platform.โ€

โ€œThese promotions reflect our confidence in Priyaโ€™s and Ronโ€™s leadership and their ability to propel FourKites to even greater heights,โ€ said FourKites founder and CEO Mathew Elenjickal. โ€œPriyaโ€™s unique blend of deep technical knowledge, innate leadership skills and collaborative approach has earned her admiration from industry leaders, investors and customers alike. Likewise, Ron brings deep industry experience, a strong track record as a successful CRO and, most importantly, vast knowledge of our existing customers and ecosystem. Under their leadership, we will continue to innovate, grow and solidify our position as the de-facto leader in the supply chain visibility space.โ€
