Chief Executive Officer at Princeton TMX

Today marks 10 months as CEO at Princeton TMX Here are 10 thoughts about our company, the industry, and takeaways from this role I am so honored to have; 1) Culture is everything - it is not my culture, it’s the teams culture, I am just the steward and THEY have nailed it 2) Prospects ask great questions. Some should ask a lot more 3) Sustainability. Sustainability. Sustainability. 4) The feedback we get from our shippers is tremendous. They push our team, it makes us better and I’m thankful for that 5) Win as a Team 6) It's clear that AI is here to stay 7) We will not try to be all things to all shippers, we are laser focused on vertical, multi mode, complex networks and user experience 8) This industry is demanding - protect your time. Reduce distractions. You will drive less customer value if you don't 9) Reduce the number of connections through DFW 10) I absolutely love this business BONUS - I can now spell BARGE! We listened to our customers and multi mode functionality matters! ----- I'm interested to hear what my network thinks...

Mark, you are building an impressive team.
