Dominic McGough

More than 45 years across every seat in the chain: customs broker, operational freight forwarder, sales hunter and sales leader, product builder, team developer and company owner, through to a trade sale and a bootstrapped start-up. Built two global freight audit operations from zero, the second sold to Körber in 2020.
