Kenco, a leading third-party logistics company, recently appointed Pal Narayanan as its Chief Digital Information Officer. Narayanan assumes leadership as the company awaits the retirement of its current CEO, Steve Hitchings. Thus, Narayanan is expected to lead the growth of the complex technology platform of the 3PL. His duties now include the oversight of the Data Science Business Intelligence division of the 3PL. Narayanan was the executive vice president and CIO of Geodis Americas. He has nearly 15 years of supply chain experience, qualifying him to lead Kenco through its AI transformation.
“AI breakthroughs allow shippers to grow and move faster than ever, and they expect their 3PLs to keep pace,” said Denis Reilly, CEO at Kenco. “I’m confident Pal’s expertise will continue to position Kenco on supply chain IT’s leading edge. Building on the infrastructure laid by Steve Hitchings and our dedicated IT team.”
Driving Technology-Led Growth Through Leadership
Throughout his illustrious 30-year-long career, Narayanan has perennially succeeded in utilizing technology to achieve significant corporate growth. For example, he has helped Direct General Insurance Company nearly double its revenues and employee count. Narayanan is now looking forward to improving the existing technology solutions to fit market needs.
“It’s an exciting time to work in supply chain IT. Our industry’s core task is improving efficiency, and every day we’re uncovering new technologies. That helps us shave a minute or two off a process or further optimize inventory,” Narayanan said. “I’m impressed with the systems Kenco already has in place. I look forward to expanding our technology to meet rapidly evolving needs.”
