Zencargo brings in former A.P Moller - Maersk UK&I MD Gary Jeffreys as Senior VP for EMEA
Zencargo, an AI powered digital freight forwarder, has appointed Gary Jeffreys as Senior Vice President, EMEA.
With more than 20 years’ experience in senior leadership roles across the logistics sector, most recently as Managing Director for UK & Ireland at A.P. Moller - Maersk, Jeffreys will lead regional strategy across EMEA, focus on executive level customer relationships, and drive adoption of Zencargo’s technology across complex freight and supply chain operations.
Zencargo CEO and Co-Founder Richard Fattal says: “Gary’s decision to join Zencargo is a real validation of what we’ve built. We’re seeing a clear shift from enterprise shippers who are no longer satisfied with fragmented providers and disconnected tools - they want intelligence embedded directly into execution."
“Zencargo was built for that next level of complexity. Our platform gives customers a degree of control and insight that simply doesn’t exist elsewhere in the market. Bringing in a leader of Gary’s calibre reflects both the scale of the opportunity ahead of us and our ambition to become the freight partner of choice for the most demanding global supply chains.”
“Disruption is now the norm,” says Jeffreys. “The biggest pain points for customers are managing exceptions, gaining real-time visibility, and reducing the number of handover points and manual processes across their supply chains.”
“Technology, not capacity alone, will be the true differentiator going forward. Zencargo offers the strongest solution I’ve seen for visibility and collaboration. We provide what customers genuinely need, and I’m excited to take it to market.”
RTIH AI in Retail Awards
Brarista, IBM Consulting, Foundit!, Quorso, Vusion, Sensei, Reckon.ai, EE, Walkbase, Globant, Riskified, and Goddiva were among the winners at the RTIH AI in Retail Awards, sponsored by VenHub Global, 3D Cloud, EdTech Innovation Hub, and Retail Technology Show.
Our 2026 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The Barbican in Central London on Thursday, 29th January, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Lucy Porter.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “According to Amazon’s Andy Jassy: AI is a once in a lifetime reinvention of everything we know, and the largest technology transformation since the cloud.”
“Whether that’s overstating it or not, we're certainly seeing an increasing number of innovative, potentially game changing developments in this space across both traditional and digital retail spaces. And that is reflected in tonight's finalists, who are boosting customer experiences and tackling retailers' painpoints across the likes of physical stores, online, omnichannel, supply chain, and payments.”
“To quote one of our judges: I have to admit, judging these awards was so difficult. So many that would have been worthy winners. And great to see how AI has moved firmly into delivery mode. Firmly into delivering for customers and driving huge innovation.”
Congratulations to our 2026 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended last night’s gathering.
Stay tuned for an indepth review of the awards ceremony in the next edition of RTIH magazine.
