The startup Auger raised $100 million in the fall. Now it's got a founding executive team packed with Amazon veterans.
Dave Clark, the former CEO of Amazon's consumer division, has hired several of his ex-Amazon colleagues to join his new venture, Flexport, a supply chain management company. Clark, who left Amazon in July, has brought on board notable figures such as the former head of Amazon's transportation services, the head of Amazon's European operations, and the former VP of Amazon's North American operations. This move is part of Clark's strategy to leverage his extensive experience in logistics and operations to enhance Flexport's capabilities, aiming to streamline and modernize global supply chains. The hires are seen as a significant boost to Flexport, which has been expanding its services to help businesses manage their logistics more efficiently amidst global trade complexities.
