IMC Logistics Makes History with Appointment of First Chief Operating Officer

IMC Logistics Announces Appointment of First Chief Operating Officer

In a landmark decision, IMC Logistics, a prominent name in drayage and landside logistics in the United States, has appointed Joe Tovo as its inaugural Chief Operating Officer. This action reflects the company's commitment to operational excellence and the enhancement of customer service across its regional operations.

Joe Tovo, who has a rich background in the transportation industry, steps into this newly established role with extensive experience and a strong record of leadership. A Chicago native, Tovo's journey in logistics began at DNJ, a family-run trucking enterprise founded by his parents in the 1970s. This company was absorbed into the IMC network in 2010, setting the stage for Tovo’s significant trajectory within the logistics field.

Holding degrees in mechanical engineering and management information systems from Ohio University, Tovo has accumulated a wealth of knowledge that he has applied during his tenure as President of IMC Logistics' Midwest Region. In this capacity, Tovo has successfully led initiatives that emphasized operational excellence, ensuring that the regional team continuously meets high standards of customer satisfaction.

As COO, Tovo’s mandate will encompass a comprehensive oversight of all core regional drayage operations along with customer service functions. IMC Logistics expects that his leadership will strengthen the Executive Team's focus on refining operations, driving greater efficiency, and optimizing overall company performance.

Mark H. George, Chairman of IMC Logistics, expressed confidence in Tovo's capabilities, stating, "There is no one who knows our business and culture better than Joe. In this new role, he will leverage best practices and establish standard operating procedures designed to elevate workflow and enhance productivity, ultimately benefiting our valued customers.”

This strategic move symbolizes IMC's dedication to maintaining strong customer relations while fostering internal growth and improvement within the logistics industry. The COO position has been crafted not only to address current operational challenges but to proactively seek opportunities for improvement.

With Tovo at the helm as COO, IMC Logistics aims to build on its existing strengths and expand its service offerings throughout the United States. As the company enters this new chapter, its focus remains on delivering smarter, more efficient logistics solutions that provide clients with better control over their supply chains.
