Ray Fitzgerald to Rejoin Crowley as Chief Operating Officer


Crowley provides ocean shipping, supply chain and government services.

Ray Fitzgerald

Ray brings CEO-level experience from a family-owned company that has experienced a similar business transformation, and he is a strong believer in our culture and values.

Crowley Maritime Corp. announced today that Ray Fitzgerald, who began his career with Crowley and most recently served as president and chief operating officer of Wallenius Wilhelmsen Solutions, and chairman of American Roll-on Roll-off Carrier (ARC), will rejoin the company March 1 as chief operating officer reporting to Tom Crowley, company chairman and CEO. He will be based at the company’s headquarters in Jacksonville, Fla.

Fitzgerald will lead the team of Crowley’s four senior vice presidents and general managers: Rocky Smith, Crowley Fuels; Rob Grune, Crowley Shipping; Steve Collar, Crowley Logistics; and Shiju Zacharia, Crowley Solutions.

Bill Pennella, executive vice president and vice chairman, will continue to report to Crowley. Senior vice presidents Dan Warner, treasurer; Michael Roberts, government relations; John Calvin, controller; Parker Harrison, general counsel; Carl Fox, corporate services; Ira Douglas, vice president, labor relations; and Arthur LaMoureaux, vice president, internal audit, ethics and compliance, will continue to report to Pennella.    

“I am extremely pleased to add Ray to our team to help me with our growth and development of talent,” said Crowley. “Ray brings CEO-level experience from a family-owned company that has experienced a similar business transformation, and he is a strong believer in our culture and values.”

While the corporate reporting structure is changing within the company, responsibilities are not.

“I am not going anywhere or changing my role,” said Crowley. “Rather I am looking to augment my leadership with additional insights, experiences and outside perspectives. I’m going to remain highly engaged while growing the company.”

Fitzgerald joined Crowley in 1987 and spent 13 years with the company – many of them in a vice-presidential commercial role within the liner services group. He then joined the Wallenius Wilhelmsen organization and over the past 20 years served in a variety of senior leadership roles, including CEO, President and COO, and executive vice president for various Wallenius brands, including Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics, ARC Shipping, American Shipping & Logistics Group, and Wallenius Wilhelmsen Solutions. In addition, he has served as chairman of the ARC Group (American Roll-on Roll-off Carrier, LLC), a U.S.-based Wallenius Wilhelmsen company, since 2015.

Fitzgerald was recognized by United Seamen’s Service in 2018 with the prestigious Admiral of the Ocean Sea (AOTOS) award. He graduated from Saint Francis University with a Bachelor of Science degree in economics and business management and has completed continuing executive education courses at the University of Chicago and The Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth.

Isagenix Poised for Growth as It Prepares for Its 18th Anniversary


News Image

With more than $7 billion in cumulative global sales, as well as more than 400,000 customers worldwide, Isagenix is poised for growth with new independent distributors and customers experiencing our amazing offerings every day. – Travis Ogden, Isagenix CEO

Isagenix International, a legacy global health and wellness company, continues to demonstrate its commitment to healthy change as it prepares for its 18th birthday in March. With a new chief visionary officer focused on positive impact for both customers and the planet for years to come, Isagenix is leading the way in sustainability, customer and independent distributor experience, and product offerings.

“With more than $7 billion in cumulative global sales, as well as more than 400,000 customers worldwide, Isagenix is poised for growth with new independent distributors and customers experiencing our amazing offerings every day,” said Travis Ogden, Isagenix chief executive officer. “We recognize the critical need to continue to innovate and invest in our business. By taking steps like eliminating our customer membership fee and regularly launching new products, we are prepared for a bright future.”

Erik Coover, son of Isagenix Co-Founders Jim and Kathy Coover, was promoted earlier this year to chief visionary officer with the main focus of driving the company’s strategic vision, originally established by his parents, to impact world health and free people from physical and financial pain, and in the process, create the most trusted and respected health and wellness company in the world. In addition, Erik leads the fastest-growing Isagenix demographic — millennials — and spearheads the company’s aggressive sustainability initiatives with a goal of zero waste packaging by 2028. One project contributing to the 2028 goal is transitioning all bottles and canisters to 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic by 2023. To date, more than 6 million canisters have been packaged in 100% PCR plastic, which is made using less energy and fossil fuels than recyclable virgin plastic. Switching the canisters to PCR plastic costs Isagenix more than $400,000 each year, a cost the company is absorbing and not passing on to customers.

Travis Ogden continued, “Erik is a perfect fit for this position because of his visionary leadership. He has worked his way up at Isagenix over the past decade, so he intimately understands the needs of our customers and our independent distributors. Alongside our incredible executive leadership team, Erik will help Isagenix stay steadfast in our approach as we focus on significant developments in technology and product innovation in 2020.”

Last month, Isagenix launched new wellness products to support customers working toward their health and wellness goals. Peanut Butter Bliss Snack Bites is a new 100-calorie snack that’s designed to not only taste good but also to help satisfy hunger between meals. BĒA™ Sparkling Energy Drink expanded its lineup with a Citrus Sunrise flavor. BĒA’s original Berry Bellini flavor debuted when the product launched in fall of 2019. BĒA both energizes and nourishes the body with 125 milligrams of naturally sourced caffeine from green tea as well as raw nutrients and vitamins sourced from fruits and vegetables.

In addition to debuting new product offerings in January, Isagenix also announced simplified customer membership benefits including the removal of the annual membership fee for customers and a new bonus opportunity for independent distributors. Now, customers receive a 25% discount on products when ordering without paying a membership fee, and independent distributors who meet all qualifying criteria can earn a bonus of up to $10,000 over 12 months.*

To learn more about Isagenix, visit the Newsroom, like the company on Facebook, and follow it on Twitter and Instagram.

*The ability to earn income under the Isagenix Compensation Plan depends on many factors including an individual Isagenix independent distributor’s business, social, and sales skills; personal ambition and activity; availability of time and financial resources; and access to a large network of family, friends, and business contacts. Isagenix cannot and does not guarantee any particular level of earnings. Even independent distributors who dedicate a significant amount of time, effort, and personal funds may not achieve a meaningful level of success. For average earnings, refer to IsagenixEarnings.com.

About Isagenix International

Established in 2002, Isagenix provides systems for weight loss, performance, vitality and well-being, personal care and beauty, and financial wellness. With more than 400,000 customers worldwide and more than 100 products, packs, and systems globally, the company is committed to supporting healthy change in its customers’ and independent distributors’ lives.

Intgrated Digital Strategies Rebrands with New Logo and New Website


Galligan and Mohay at IFA

“One of the main reasons we’ve stayed with IDS for the last six years is that we really hold them to the numbers,” said Jason Anderson, President of Venture X, and part of the United Franchise Group family of brands. “I can tell you, if the results weren’t there, we wouldn’t be with IDS!”

Integrated Digital Strategies (IDS), a complete digital marketing solution, has rebranded and unveiled a new logo — the lighthouse. Specializing in franchise brands, franchise development and local franchisee marketing, IDS recently debuted its new look at the International Franchise Association’s (IFA) 2020 convention to an enthusiastic response, with many franchisors anxious to learn more about their integrated approach to digital marketing.

“We’re extremely excited for the future,” said Stephen Galligan, IDS co-founder and CEO. “We’ve grown considerably and felt it was time to do for ourselves what we do for so many of our clients — update and refresh our look, and really reiterate what it is we do better than anyone else.”

The IFA convention was the perfect opportunity to debut IDS’s rebrand, website redesign, and beautiful new exhibit booth, with hundreds of industry movers and shakers in an audience that was highly receptive to what Galligan, and co-founder and CRO Joseph Mohay, had to say about digital marketing strategies in general, and IDS’s unique approach in particular.

“We really see ourselves as an extension of our client’s sales and marketing team,” said Mohay. “We’re an agency that believes in delivering personalized and professional service, while keeping focused on results every step of the way. It’s a true partnership!”

That philosophy was reiterated by many current IDS clients who were also in attendance, and who were anxious to sing the praises of IDS’s thoughtful contributions to their marketing efforts.

“After vetting multiple partners to increase our online presence, the experience we’ve had (with IDS) has been extraordinary,” said Jack Humbert, VP of Development at Byrider Franchising. “Our lead volume is up and our online presence is ten-fold. But I think the most important thing about working with IDS is the people. They care about your results and they’re easy to communicate with. They became our partner in a short period of time.”

IDS’s attendance at the IFA event marked their seventh time there, which meant visiting with numerous old friends, as well as making new ones — many of whom enjoyed the Client Appreciation Reception that IDS hosted at the beautiful Columbia Restaurant, in Celebration, FL. With over 30 clients, friends, and family enjoying some time to network and relax, Steve and Joe thanked their guests for entrusting IDS to meet their sales and marketing needs and to help them reach important milestones.

“One of the main reasons we’ve stayed with IDS for the last six years is that we really hold them to the numbers,” said Jason Anderson, President of Venture X, and part of the United Franchise Group family of brands. “I can tell you, if the results weren’t there, we wouldn’t be with IDS!”

Jessica Ray, Director of Franchise Marketing at Huddle House Inc., agreed. “IDS became an extension of our franchise marketing team because of the challenges of managing campaigns in-house, along with other sales and marketing activities. Partnering with IDS helped us reach our franchise sales goals much faster!”

The IDS team was especially excited to unveil their new lighthouse logo, which speaks to their deep Newburyport, MA roots, the city where the US Coast Guard was born. The company wanted to stress its role as a trusted source for all things digital marketing, particularly since the industry can be quite complex. The quintessential New England lighthouse became the perfect symbol, as IDS specializes in not only helping brands navigate the choppy waters of digital marketing, but also to stand out in highly competitive markets.

“We’re the total package,” reiterates Galligan. “We specialize in complete solutions for a variety of digital marketing needs, and our clients trust us to deliver, no matter how much or how little they’ve asked us to do.”

Are your ready to grow your brand and move to the next level? Our suite of services is the answer! Reach out today for more information.
