Background

About Sean Woods

A passionate leader with a decade of experience at the intersection of global logistics, enterprise sales, and ecommerce technology. I moved to Los Angeles with FedEx in 2016, as the e-commerce boom—fueled by the Amazon Prime effect—transformed logistics. Carriers struggled to operationalize 2-day delivery, implement returns networks, and phase out legacy technology, while retailers navigated the challenges of social shopping and customer-centric refund policies. E-commerce SaaS platforms, such as Shopify and ShipStation, soared in prominence, and Amazon's FBA redefined fulfillment, ushering in the 3PL era. This shift caught many businesses off-guard, leaving them to fall behind their digitally-native competitors. During this time, I had the privilege of working with incredible brands and building lasting relationships. After five years at FedEx, my passion for e-commerce logistics and digital innovation in transportation became clear, and I knew I wanted to be at the forefront of this transformation. In 2019, just before the pandemic, I met two Australian founders who introduced me to OmniParcel and the world of cross-border e-commerce. Leveraging my experience, I launched Omni in the US as Director of e-Commerce following its acquisition by SEKO, eventually rebranding as SEKO Ecommerce. As employee #1 in the Americas, I embarked on one of the most rewarding adventures of my life. The early days were intense, with long hours and collaboration across four continents, offering a constant stream of learning opportunities that pushed my limits and helped me grow as a leader. From building sales teams and executing growth strategies to navigating complex global fulfillment regulations, the experience taught me the true value of strong people and the importance of nurturing a company culture alongside the brand. My passion for transportation technology ultimately led me to Flock, a startup combining machine learning and AI with the traditional trucking model—ripe for innovation. At Flock, we created a new freight category: shared-truckload, challenging the binary LTL and TL models and disrupting industry norms to usher in a new era of transportation.
