Connecting customers to the best industry innovations, services, people, and technology, Rattay has overseen the company’s growth to $1.28 billion in 2022 revenue, including 34 percent year-over-year SaaS growth.
“Redwood takes great pride in collaborating with our customers to deliver innovative and easy-to-use technology that helps automate their supply chains and deliver massive value,” said Rattay. “We’ve developed a unique approach to deliver high-impact, low-risk logistics and technology services that have unlocked significant business benefits. As we have continued to grow and bring on new customers and integrations, our open ecosystem of FreightTech tools powered by our proprietary RedwoodConnect™ integration platform has only grown stronger.”
