In a significant move for the logistics industry, Uber Freight has announced the appointment of Rebecca Tinucci as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

Her experience in fostering partnerships and driving strategic initiatives will be crucial in her new role at Uber Freight [1][2].

Uber Freight's Innovative Products

Under Lior Ron's leadership, Uber Freight evolved into a global logistics platform managing over $20 billion in freight under management. The company developed multiple products including Uber Freight TMS, Exchange, Powerloop, and Insights AI [1].

A Commitment to Innovation

With Tinucci at the helm, Uber Freight has announced its continued commitment to innovation across logistics and autonomous technologies. Tinucci expressed her excitement to work with the Uber Freight team to keep raising the bar for customers and showing the market what's next [3].

The Future of Uber Freight

Rebecca Tinucci will make her first public appearance as CEO at Deliver 2025, Uber Freight's flagship customer event scheduled for September. Her leadership is expected to further propel Uber Freight's growth and innovation, as the company continues to serve one in three Fortune 500 companies, including Colgate, Nestlé, and Anheuser-Busch InBev, through its managed transportation services [1].
