Austin-based logistics company Mothership announced the hiring of Michael Miller as its new chief operating officer earlier this week. Miller brings over 15 years of experience in operations, logistics and supply chain management.
Miller previously worked for project44 as the company’s EVP of global network. Miller has experience driving efficiency, improving customer satisfaction and building high-performance teams, Mothership wrote in a post on LinkedIn.
Mothership went on to say Miller’s expertise will be key in helping the company scale its business and achieve its goal of “becoming the world’s most reliable and efficient last-mile shipping platform.”
Mothership provides businesses with an on-demand network of connected trucks to enable same-day delivery, as well as a dashboard to streamline local freight operations. Through its marketplace, freight is matched to nearby truckers instantly and routed optimally for faster and more cost-effective deliveries, according to the company. Mothership also offers an API to integrate local freight into existing systems, allowing businesses to manage orders, invoices and tracking in one place. The company raised a $76 million round last May.
