SPEAKER: Tabachnik is the CEO and co-founder of Solvento.

BIO: Tabachnik previously served as CEO of BIIS Logistics, a digital freight brokerage company and COO of Distribuidora Tamex, an electric supply distribution company.

KEY QUOTES FROM TABACHNIK:

“I was super frustrated with how difficult it was to retain truckers and to have loyalty out of our carriers.”

“Two and a half years ago, I made a very hard decision of quitting the family business. I was growing in the business, but something inside me told me that I needed, and I wanted, to also start something of my own.”

“We can take care of the entire financing process, and the carrier doesn’t even have to pay for the gas upfront.”
