Flexport Editorial Team July 15, 2026 Shanghai, China, July 7, 2026 - Flexport, a global leader in supply chain technology, is announcing the appointment of Rick Tang as General Manager of Greater China. Tang brings more than 27 years of experience in global freight forwarding and logistics leadership at DHL companies and will focus on driving growth and strengthening Flexport's presence across China. "Greater China is one of the most important markets for global trade, and customers there are looking for faster, more flexible ways to manage complex supply chains," said Daniel Sanvicente, Senior Vice President of Asia-Pacific at Flexport. "Rick brings the regional expertise and customer relationships to help more businesses in Greater China benefit from Flexport's technology and global network, while accelerating our growth across the region." Tang most recently served as Area Director, Greater China at Hillebrand Gori, a DHL company, and before that, Head of Ocean Freight, China & Hong Kong at DHL Global Forwarding. During his 27-year career with DHL Global Forwarding and its predecessor companies, Danzas and AEI, he held leadership roles across air freight, ocean freight, operations, strategy, and commercial management in Shanghai, Chengdu, Ningbo, Xiamen, and Chicago.

Flexport CEO calls remote work 'white-collar fraud' after company revenue surged to $3.3B during pandemic

Flexport CEO Ryan Petersen has called remote work "white-collar fraud", despite his company's revenue surging from $670 million pre-pandemic to $3.3 billion in 2021 as home shopping boosted logistics demand. Petersen, speaking on the Twenty Minute VC podcast, said remote work during the pandemic was a mistake that damaged company culture. Flexport now requires employees in the office five days weekly. He argued remote work primarily benefits highly skilled workers in developing countries who can earn above local market rates, dismissing the idea it benefits highly paid employees. Research contradicts this view. A National Bureau of Economic Research study found tech workers would sacrifice 25% of their pay for partly or fully remote roles over in-person positions. About 26% of US paid workdays remain remote, down from 62% in 2020 but well above pre-pandemic levels.

KENOSHA - The Pritzker Military Museum and Library will host a Memorial Day program Saturday honoring the bravery and sacrifice of America's... The City of Kenosha has announced the emergency closure of 24th Street between 14th Avenue and Sheridan Road due to emergency infrastructure repairs. International logistics company Flexport says it will move into the former Kroger fulfillment center in Pleasant Prairie, Wis., in August. It's set to staff 300 full-time employes and will operate 24/7. For the 2026-2027 school year, KUSD would have received a projected $4.3 million through the deal's increase in special education reimbursement to K-12 schools. Without that funding, the district could see its structural deficit grow to at least $10.5 million next school year, KUSD Chief Financial Officer Tarik Hamdan said at the district's budget committee meeting Thursday. Nigh, a teen services librarian at Kenosha Public Library, was named a Library Journal Mover and Shaker, KPL announced May 6. Library Journal's annual list recognizes librarians and library staff members across the nation who are "shaping the future of libraries." The Wisconsin men's basketball coach backed the recent move to expand the NCAA Tournament by eight teams. But he believes there are other opportunities to add "inventory." Kenosha Christian Life's football co-op with Burlington Catholic Central is a Hail Mary to maintain sustainable numbers moving forward.
