Redwood City, CA - 10 January, 2022 - Dexterity, the leader in intelligent software for full task warehouse robots, today announced the hiring of Ana Pinczuk as its Chief Operating Officer (COO).

As COO, Pinczuk will lead Dexterity’s strategy, product, deployment, and operations to drive the company towards its ambitious commercial goals in 2023.

Dexterity plans to more than double its fleet of installed robots on customer sites and triple the number of items fulfilled by Dexterity-powered robots in 2023. Recent partnerships with Dematic and Sumitomo will also expand the geographic reach of Dexterity’s robots beyond the United States to the rest of North America, Europe, and Japan by the end of 2023.

“Hiring Ana brings Dexterity’s ability to deploy next generation robotic technology in warehouses to the next level,” said Dexterity CEO, Samir Menon. “Her wealth of operational experience will help our customers solve their toughest material handling challenges across their logistics network.”

Prior to Dexterity, Pinczuk served as the Chief Development Officer at Anaplan, a SaaS planning software company. Her experience also includes tenure as President and General Manager of Hewlett-Packard Enterprise Pointnext and Chief Product Officer at Veritas in addition to board positions on multiple leading SaaS companies.

“There has never been a more critical time for warehouse and logistics companies to deploy automation,” said Pinczuk. “I’m thrilled and energized to be joining this fantastic team as our robots continue to make an impact with leaders in parcel, retail, and manufacturing.”

Pinczuk joins Dexterity’s growing team that includes John Pell and David Magoc, both of whom served as senior operations managers in Amazon’s supply chain organization.

Both Pinczuk and Pell will be speaking about scaling warehouse operations at the Manifest Conference in Las Vegas on 2 February 2023. More details can be found on Dexterity’s website.

How clever is that chatbot?

Oh, you work in logistics, too? Then you’ve probably met my friends Truedi, Lumi, and Roger.

No, you haven’t swapped business cards with those guys or eaten appetizers together at a trade-show social hour. But the chances are good that you’ve had conversations with them.

Experts: U.S. companies need strategies to pay costs of Trump tariffs

With the hourglass dwindling before steep tariffs threatened by the new Trump Administration will impose new taxes on U.S. companies importing goods from abroad, organizations need to deploy strategies to handle those spiraling costs.

American companies with far-flung supply chains have been hanging for weeks in a “wait-and-see” situation to learn if they will have to pay increased fees to U.S. Customs and Border Enforcement agents for every container they import from certain nations. After paying those levies, companies face the stark choice of either cutting their own profit margins or passing the increased cost on to U.S. consumers in the form of higher prices.

J.B. Hunt launches solar farm to power its three HQ buildings

Supply chain solution provider J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. has launched a large-scale solar facility that will generate enough electricity to offset up to 80% of the power used by its three main corporate campus buildings in Lowell, Arkansas.

The 40-acre solar facility in Gentry, Arkansas, includes nearly 18,000 solar panels and 10,000-plus bi-facial solar modules to capture sunlight, which is then converted to electricity and transmitted to a nearby electric grid for Carroll County Electric. The facility will produce approximately 9.3M kWh annually and utilize net metering, which helps transfer surplus power onto the power grid.
