The Phoenix-based technology vendor and third-party logistics provider (3PL) said Krug received a gold Woman of the Year in Technology award and a silver Most Innovative Woman in Technology award as part of the 2019 Stevie Awards for Women in Business.

GlobalTranz has developed a number of new technology products and capabilities under Krug's leadership, the company said. She has been instrumental in GlobalTranz's overall growth, including strong increases in gross and net revenue driven by growth in the company's managed transportation services offering and continued merger and acquisition activity, the company also said.
