US-based global logistics provider AIT Worldwide Logistics has appointed Justin Kosslyn as its chief digital and technology officer in a newly created role, tasking him with leading the company's global technology strategy and accelerating the next generation of integrated digital, data, AI and customer-facing systems across the organisation.

According to Bastille Post, Kosslyn will report directly to president and chief operating officer Keith Tholan and brings more than 15 years of experience leading technical teams in the development and scaling of digital products. He most recently held senior leadership roles at Google, where he led product management for the company's news ecosystem, overseeing platforms including Google Trends and Search Console. Earlier in his career he spent a decade at Google Jigsaw, developing tools to enhance digital and information security.

Tholan said: "With a history of delivering for companies at the center of global technology and innovation, Justin brings the kind of forward-looking perspective we believe can help AIT lead the next evolution of logistics. His experience building digital products and leading technical teams will complement the deep logistics, infrastructure, cybersecurity, data and AI expertise already within AIT as we create more connected, scalable and customer-focused tech solutions."

Vaughn Moore, chairman and chief executive officer of AIT, said: "By hiring him into this new role, the company is positioned to further disrupt the industry by setting a new standard for logistics technology while continuing to deliver supply chain solutions for our clients."

Kosslyn said: "AIT has a real opportunity to use technology not just to improve how global logistics works, but to establish a new benchmark for the industry as a whole. I'm looking forward to collaborating with teams across the company to arm our organisation and customers with practical, flexible digital solutions that deliver maximum impact."

At AIT, Kosslyn will focus on advancing the company's technology enablement strategy, including the continued evolution of its global transportation management system, broader digital transformation efforts and enterprise AI adoption to support decision-making and customer value. He holds a Bachelor of Science in computer science from Yale University.
