Mark Ford is chief capacity officer for BlueGrace Logistics, a third-party logistics provider headquartered in Tampa, Florida. In this role, he focuses on identifying, pursuing, and building carrier relationships and procurement opportunities, as well as overall capacity strategy, using in-house technology.
Ford joined BlueGrace in 2017 with over 20 years of experience and has since built and expanded upon the centralized carrier sales fulfillment arm, which supports multiple sales channels. He helped develop BlueGrace’s custom carrier file, which provides a platform that stores years’ worth of internal and external data and is designed to streamline the carrier search process to help identify and select the best truck.
Prior to BlueGrace, Ford worked in numerous leadership positions at American Backhaulers, C.H. Robinson, Coyote Logistics, and Reliance Partners. Ford received his master’s in supply chain management from Michigan State University and continued to be a guest teacher and speaker for the University for more than six years.
