Neil Daswani (left) & Brett Wilson (right) join Trinity Ventures as Executives in Residence

We continue to add to Trinity’s talent bench across all fronts and further our mission to partner with the most innovative entrepreneurs.

MENLO PARK, Calif. (PRWEB)
September 26, 2019

Trinity Ventures, a leading early-stage technology venture capital firm, today announced that Brett Wilson and Neil Daswani have joined as Executives in Residence (EIRs).

Brett Wilson is the former CEO and co-founder of Trinity portfolio company TubeMogul, which Trinity invested in as a Series A investor in 2009. TubeMogul was acquired by Adobe for $540m in 2016 when Brett assumed the role of vice president and general manager of the Adobe Advertising Cloud business.

“I have been part of the Trinity family as a founder for nearly a decade and have witnessed firsthand the team’s integrity, empathy and true dedication to its entrepreneurs,” Wilson said. “I’m excited to be working with a team I highly respect to launch this next phase of my career.”

“We continue to add to Trinity’s talent bench across all fronts and further our mission to partner with the most innovative entrepreneurs,” said Trinity Ventures general partner Ajay Chopra. “After working side-by-side with Brett as a board member of TubeMogul for 8 years, I’m thrilled to be partnering with him again in this new capacity. Both Brett and Neil bring significant operational expertise to our core investment themes and embody the kind of authentic, long-term relationships we build with entrepreneurs.”

In this executive in residence role, Wilson will draw on his significant technology leadership experience to explore new business opportunities in advertising and provide strategic technical and operational advice to Trinity’s portfolio companies.

A seasoned security executive, researcher and entrepreneur, EIR Neil Daswani brings deep expertise in the ever-evolving cyber threat landscape and will seek out companies revolutionizing cloud security, artificial intelligence and security, privacy, Internet of Things (IoT) security, risk management, and cyber-insurance.

“I am excited to join the Trinity team and work with the partnership to examine the areas of security that are most ripe for further investment,” said Daswani. “Given that there are a massive number of unfilled cyber security jobs, we need to leverage artificial intelligence and analytics to automate aggressively, in addition to bringing more people into the field.”

Neil is co-founder and co-director of Stanford’s Advanced Computer Security Certificate Program. He formerly co-founded Dasient, which was acquired by Twitter in 2012. Neil previously served as a Chief Information Security Officer at Symantec and LifeLock, and held engineering and product leadership roles at Twitter, Google and Yodlee.

At Yodlee, Neil worked with the company’s co-founder and serial entrepreneur, Schwark Satyavolu, who later co-founded fintech startup Truaxis (acquired by MasterCard in 2013) and became a Trinity general partner in 2016.

“I am thrilled to be working again with Neil after our successful collaborations at Yodlee and LifeLock,” said Schwark Satyavolu, general partner at Trinity Ventures. “Our EIRs are integral team members who bring their unique perspective on emerging market trends to help source, evaluate and champion Trinity’s next investments.”

Trinity’s EIR program is imbued with an experimental ethos: question, learn, share and discover ways to create value in the world. This may take the form of founding a company, accepting a new leadership role, or transitioning into venture capital. Over the course of three months, EIRs are integral team members involved in the sourcing, evaluating and championing of investments.

“Project Plastic Fix advocates the message that the problem of plastic is fixable, achievable and there will come a time when we will look back and not believe that this problem ever existed.” – Anantshree Chaturvedi, vice-chairman and CEO, FlexFilms International

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
September 26, 2019

UFlex, one of the largest polymer plastic companies in the world, and Plastic Patrol, an international movement that combines crowdsourcing and community activism to address single-use plastic pollution, recently screened the short documentary “The Hudson Project” at the Core Club in New York City. Along with the film screening, the event highlighted the importance of open and productive conversation around plastic pollution to help identify solutions; included a panel discussion between Anantshree Chaturvedi, Vice-chairman & CEO of FlexFilms International and environmentalist Lizzie Carr, founder of Plastic Patrol; and announced the launch of UFlex Group’s new global initiative, “Project Plastic Fix.”

According to Carr, in just the last two years, Plastic Patrol has conducted hundreds of cleanups, reaching thousands of people globally and removing more than 320 ton bags of trash from the natural world. “The Hudson Project” follows her 170-mile paddle boarding expedition to draw attention to plastic pollution in America. Carr is dedicated to using her journeys to capture important data that educates the public on environmental issues and informs industry and government to find solutions to tackling the plastic crisis.

“We are just scratching the surface by litter picking,” Carr said. Through the Plastic Patrol app, trash collected on Plastic Patrol cleanups is documented and categorized. All data is analyzed by partner sciences to inform and develop solutions to the pollution problem. “Coupled with on the ground activism, crowdsourcing through the Plastic Patrol app is a way of understanding the type, location and amount of plastic we are finding. This gives us better knowledge of the trends and patterns we need to address this problem effectively and with the urgency it requires.”

What started as one person has become a global community, said Carr. In fact, the Plastic Patrol app now has more than 250,000 pieces of garbage logged across 68 countries. “Community is at the heart of Plastic Patrol and that’s what we are building, a like-minded community of people that truly care about this issue which ultimately is what will drive change. This is a global problem that requires global change – and this has to come at every level including industry and government. One person can make a difference, but it will take systemic change to solve the problem.”

Project Plastic Fix by UFlex: Keeping Plastic in the Economy and Out of the Environment

“Lizzie is trying to eradicate single use plastic from nature – where it isn’t supposed to be, and as a plastics manufacturer, we are trying to achieve the same goal,” said Chaturvedi. “We believe that plastic is a problem that can be solved – it’s a global catastrophic risk that we can put behind us, but we have to engineer ourselves out of the problem. Although it’s a challenge, there are avenues, but technology alone isn’t enough. It will take a combination of technology, plastic and people to solve this problem. Corporate choices and citizen behavior are part of the solution.”

To that end, UFlex has launched Project Plastic Fix, a pioneering sustainability initiative designed to clean up plastic waste and convert it into products that have an economic value. In essence, “waste becomes wealth.” UFlex will eradicate plastic waste in four distinct ways through a mix of various methodologies it already practices, such as, recycling plastic waste into granules further used to make over 10,000 household and industrial products like road dividers, outdoor furniture, dustbins and many more useful articles; reprocessing plastic waste into fuel through a process called Pyrolysis that emits zero greenhouse emission; collecting and converting plastic bottle waste into green, up to 100% PCR grade packaging film AsclepiusTM; and converting plastic waste into 100% biodegradable biomass. UFlex’s Project Plastic Fix is the only project in the world that shall have the technology to make plastic recyclable as well as biodegradable.

Also making Project Plastic Fix unique and different is that waste collection will be done by individuals directly engaged by UFlex, thus eliminating the “middleman” that typically would see the largest benefit from these transactions. Importantly, Project Plastic Fix contributes to poverty alleviation as the person responsible for collecting and depositing the waste receives the maximum return. To this, Chaturvedi commented, “Waste collection is more about economic value. When we think of waste management as an unimportant thing, it becomes a burden on all those who have to deal with it.”

The initiative is being piloted in India, Poland and Mexico, to begin with. UFlex will be looking at additional locations along the U.S. East Coast and in the United Kingdom later.

“I believe that while plastic cannot be removed from everyday living, it can be used responsibly. We can have a solution to use the plastic that the world has already manufactured and ensure that it gets recycled and reused in the economy, in a variety of ways, without affecting the ecology,” added Chaturvedi. “Project Plastic Fix advocates the message that the problem of plastic is fixable, achievable and there will come a time when we will look back and not believe that this problem ever existed.”

Emphasizing the issue of human behavior that adds to the plastic waste menace, Chaturvedi concluded, “A change in the way the consumer thinks and behaves will make a lot of difference. With Project Plastic Fix, the only requirement from the consumer will be waste sorting, while the rest can still be addressed with UFlex’s four different approaches. Just by making the small effort of segregating our waste before disposing it, makes it a lot simpler for companies like us to make sure all falls into the right place. But these changes by consumers need to be made today!”

In September 2018, Carr took her activism to America and became the first person to successfully paddle board the tidal Hudson River — all 170 miles over eight days. To date, Carr and her army of volunteers globally have removed more than 300-ton bags of garbage from nature and an additional 200,000 examples across 65 countries globally have been logged through crowdsourcing on the interactive Plastic Patrol app. In the last year alone Carr’s campaigning efforts have reached more than 44 million people globally through widespread media support. In 2018 she also released her first book “Paddling Britain” to inspire and motivate people to explore the United Kingdom’s waterways and coastal areas by paddle board.

ES CEO Paul Williams checks in with the expanding ES Recruiting Department in its larger space at the company’s headquarters building.

The expansion of the new space for the growing needs of our recruiting department is one of the ways that our company is investing in our future as well as investing in the needs of our ES Community. __ ES CEO Paul Williams

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (PRWEB)
September 26, 2019

ES, a leader in capacity solutions and ownership opportunities within the trucking industry, announced the company recently completed the current phase of its operational headquarters expansion with the addition of new office space specifically designed for the ES Recruiting Department. The decision to move forward with the development of a larger space for the recruiting department within the ES operational headquarters is part of an overall strategic plan focused on supporting the continued growth of the company’s truck ownership opportunities and expanding its business support programs for the members of the ES Community.

“At ES, one of the points that we stress with every business owner who becomes part of our program is the importance of setting money aside to invest back into your business. The expansion of the new space for the growing needs of our recruiting department is one of the ways that our company is investing in our future as well as investing in the needs of our ES Community,” said Paul Williams, CEO of ES. “As a company, ES provides safe, stable and profitable capacity to our partner carriers by connecting carriers with our community of small business owners consisting of independent contractor drivers, owner-operators and fleet owners. The success of ES is directly tied to the success of the motor carriers and the members of the ES community, and we believe it is essential to continue to invest in the infrastructure and programs that will further open the doors for success in trucking.”

Williams noted that ES originally acquired the company’s operational headquarters building – which had previously served as a newspaper distribution center just south of Memphis – because it could accommodate future growth needs. The Recruiting Department expansion is the third construction project that ES has completed since 2017. Previously, the company had added the Hub, a gathering space for owner-operators and independent contract drivers, as well as an expanded area for the IT Department, Accounting and other back-office support functions ES provides to participants in the company’s programs.

“When Expediter Services entered the trucking industry and began introducing our offerings in the expedited sector in 2006, we had developed a strategic plan for future growth and the development of our programs that could expand beyond expedite,” explained Williams. “Having a building large enough where we can expand as necessary to provide the highest level of support for the needs of the small businesses in the ES Community has helped our company move forward in what we can offer to the overall trucking industry.”

Continued Commitment to Reinvesting in Infrastructure & Programs

According to Jason Williams, President of ES, one of the company’s core principles is the commitment to make investments back into company’s infrastructure in order to enhance the offerings available to the ES Community. The company’s history and track record of growth stand as proof of the dedication to reinvestment – in both prosperous times and during periods when the market is soft. One of the benefits of becoming a leading provider of non-asset capacity to the expedited sector could be seen in the manner with which ES brought its proven model of creating small businesses to general trucking. By 2016, the company had introduced truck ownership programs and support services tailored for the demands of the truckload (TL) and less than truckload (LTL) sectors.

In November of 2017, ES partnered with the Women In Trucking Association to launch the 150 Business Challenge, a collaborative initiative between the two organizations to create 150 women-owned businesses in transportation. Over the past two years, the 150 Business Challenge is fast approaching 100 new trucking start-ups as a result of participation in the program, which offers an attainable path to financing as well as operational and business support for women who have an interest in a career path within the trucking industry. Qualified participants in all of the ES ownership programs have access to competitive, market-rate financing with a credit-evaluation process that places an emphasis on attitude, aptitude, work ethic and work history. 

“Trucking has allowed me to realize my dream of becoming my own boss, and the opportunity I have through ES and 150 Business Challenge allowed my dream of truck ownership to come true,” said Shannon Richert, who is running with Forward Air. “I can’t say enough about the ownership program and the support services available to me as part of the ES Community. I am running my own small business in an industry that I love. ES has opened the doors to the best experience I’ve had in all my years in trucking.

“I quickly discovered ES is a company that you can trust. They will stand with you no matter what’s happening in the freight market,” she added. “ES will tell you, ‘If you can drive a truck, you can own the truck,’ and that’s absolutely true. You are going to have ups and downs in trucking. It’s a fact of life. But, because of the comprehensive way that ES supports the people in their programs, you can enter truck ownership at any time and at any point in the freight cycle. If you want to get into truck ownership today and you are willing to commit to the work needed to be successful, ES can help you make it happen.”

The 150 Business Challenge: A Closer Look at the Commitment to Provide Opportunities

Long before the collaboration with WIT on the 150 Business Challenge, ES had established a reputation in the industry for opening doors for women who are seeking to become business owners in trucking. Today, the number of women within the ES Community who are fleet owners, owner-operators or independent contract drivers involved in the programs offered by the company now exceeds 38 percent of the ES fleet. When compared to the overall industry average of women behind the wheel, the percentage of women participating in the ES truck ownership programs and utilizing the company’s support services is nearly five times greater than the current national average.

FedEx, Forward Air and Panther Premium Logistics, a service of ArcBest, have become leading participating motor carriers within the ES Community. These three companies served as the exclusive motor carriers for the inaugural Success In Trucking Expo (SITE), which was held at the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway complex in early June of this year.

Donna Sleasman, a 38-year veteran of the industry who found a home in expediting as an owner-operator with FedEx in 2000, began utilizing the support services of ES in 2012 as she was growing her own fleet of expedited trucks within FedEx. Donna brought a depth of perspective to the SITE as a member of the panel discussion on truck ownership at the event. Within the last year, Donna further grew her fleet through the 150 Business Challenge program, and she was recognized in July by the Women In Trucking Association as one of the honorees for the organization’s Top Women-Owned Businesses Award.

“To think that someone like me who has a company with five or six trucks could be on this list is quite flattering, and I feel like I need to share the credit for this award with ES,” said Donna. “ES has become a valued business partner, and they have helped me become more successful as a business owner. The discounts ES provides are some of the best in the trucking industry, and the support they offer to me and to everyone in their program is first-rate. I can walk right into Jason Williams’ office and ask him a question. He will take the time to listen and to get me with the right people who can address what I need.

“ES backs up what they tell you and they truly care about your success as a business owner,” she added. “The biggest thing is that they have been there when I have needed them, and that’s the way they work with everyone in their program. I wish ES had been in business with the program they have today back when I started.”

Positive Impact of the Inaugural Success In Trucking Expo (SITE)

The response from professional drivers, owner-operators and fleet owners interested in attending the inaugural edition of the SITE was confirmation in the decision to move forward with the expansion of the ES Recruiting Department space at the company’s headquarters.

“The outreach and marketing efforts we made related to the SITE helped to build a lot of positive momentum for our recruiting department,” said Jeff Tacker, COO of ES. “We are thrilled to be in our new space. It not only meets our needs at the moment and in the months ahead, but this expansion will allow us to continue to grow for years to come. We added one new recruiter in early September, and we are looking forward to adding to the team as they are needed.”

According to ES, the SITE has contributed to the increased interest the company has received from carriers within expedite and general trucking seeking to work with the non-asset capacity that ES is developing for the industry.

“We are quite thankful and very fortunate to have established strong working relationships with three of the trucking industry’s leading names in FedEx, Forward Air and ArcBest through Panther Premium Logistics. One of the byproducts of the success ES and the members of our community have realized over the years can be seen in the calls that we have gotten from a number of motor carriers interested in our program,” said Jason Williams. “We spend a good amount of time talking with interested motor carriers and closely examining all aspects of those companies to see if they are a good fit for our ES Community. We are currently preparing to beta test a carrier and we will be looking at some additional carrier candidates over the next year. At the end of the day, one of the biggest questions in the evaluation process is this: How will the carrier benefit the small business owners in our community?”

About ES:

A full-service, one-stop support company with expertise in financial services, relationship lending and general business support, ES has developed highly effective programs focused on creating opportunities for independent contract drivers and owner-operators in the trucking industry. ES features support in the areas of contract driver services, equipment finance, truck sales, management services and insurance services. In addition to serving as the leading provider of capacity in the expedited sector of trucking, ES also has built a strong network of independent contract drivers, owner-operators, fleet owners and partner carriers within the over-the-road, general trucking sector of the transportation industry.

Tyson King, Vice President of Sales for North America

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. and PUNE, India (PRWEB)

With growing interest from global manufacturers to expand Industrial IoT (IIoT) innovation into their operations throughout the U.S. and Canada, Altizon, a global industrial IIoT platform company, today announced the appointment of Tyson King to the position of Vice President of Sales for North America.

In the past year, Altizon has seen a considerable increase from both global and regional manufacturers looking to deploy its Datonis IIoT solution throughout North America, which now accounts for approximately 20 percent of the company’s revenues. To help meet growing demand, King will be responsible for spearheading the company’s sales and support efforts in the U.S. and Canada.
