Tarrytown, N.Y. - Ben Wiesen has been named president of Carrier Logistics Inc., (CLI), the leading provider of integrated enterprise software solutions for transportation companies. Wiesen succeeds Don Adams, president and co-founder of the firm, headquartered in Tarrytown, N.Y., who retired on September 20.
“I have had the pleasure of working closely with Ben and Kevin over these many years and have the utmost confidence in their management and vision,” said Don Adams, who, with the late Ken Weinberg, founded CLI in 1972. “From the beginning Ken and I planned on building a company that would help trucking companies run more efficiently and profitably” said Adams. “We have developed an organization and created a solution that does that thoroughly.” Weinberg died unexpectedly in 2017.
Wiesen started his career at the U.S. Department of Defense as an industrial engineer monitoring defense contracts. Before joining CLI, he was an operations engineer for Roadway Express with responsibility for reengineering of satellite facilities. Wiesen has a degree in industrial engineering from University of Massachusetts at Amherst.
“This is an exciting time in transportation and I look forward to continuing to position CLI as the premier supplier and resource to the industry in the area of software solutions for the multi-stop market,” said Wiesen. “At CLI we are committed to developing solutions that will allow carriers to exceed customer expectations, meet challenges head-on and maintain our customers’ positions as progressive, industry-leading providers. We have a successful road map to build upon and I look forward to leading the organization into the future.”
