Transplace hires Sabre veteran as CFO

Chris Nester will oversee the financial operations of the transportation management services and logistics technology solutions provider.    Transportation management services and logistics technology solutions provider Transplace announced Tuesday that it has named Chris Nester as chief financial officer.
   Nester will oversee the company’s financial operations and report directly to CEO Frank McGuigan.
   With 18 years of financial experience, Nester most recently was the senior vice president and treasurer of Sabre. He was responsible for all financial aspects of the company’s business units, including financial planning and analysis and commercial deal support, and partnered with corporate groups on mergers and acquisitions and investor relations. Nester was instrumental in many large strategic initiatives during his time at Sabre, including helping to take the organization private in 2007; assisting with the strategic and economic divestitures of Travelocity and Lastminute.com; and the planning and execution of Sabre’s April 2014 initial public offering.
   “The continued growth of e-commerce and development of advanced technologies impacting every area of the supply chain has created tremendous opportunities for logistics companies and shippers,” Nester said. “I look forward to helping Transplace continue growing and build upon the business objectives and corporate strategies that are already in place in order to best serve the continually expanding needs of our customers.”
