CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, September 15, 2021 – EDRAY, The Collaborative Port Logistics Platform for international beneficial cargo owners, announces the addition of Brett Parker as CCO (chief commercial officer) to their executive management team.

His mission is to help make EDRAY the largest player in the destination management and drayage marketplace space. EDRAY’s collaborative, end-to-end scope of supply chain services and technology is unparalleled in the industry and is backed by a strong team of strategic founders and investors.


Prior to EDRAY, Brett served as Co-Founder and President of Cargomatic Inc., the first “Digital Brokerage” in the logistics industry.

Innovating with every move has always been my goal and we’re well positioned with the volume of freight moving through the platform. The industry has never needed the services EDRAY offers more than it does today. Our objective is clear, to improve the throughput of the final import mile,” said Brett.

“Furthermore, Reade Kidd, our CEO, offers a unique and meaningful perspective from the retail end of the business, due to his many years running the international supply chain at Home Depot. We have a very BCO centric view of the supply chain and understand where we need to focus to deliver the ROI our clients are looking for. In addition, new strategic investor and board member, Andrew Leto, founder and CEO of Emerge, has joined Ken Kellaway, Chairman and Co-Founder of EDRAY, and other amazing investors and advisors that we have around EDRAY. These are winners that you want to have on your side – hands down.”

Brett, continued, “Being an extension of the shipper allows EDRAY to really work from the inside, ensuring each client is doing the best with data we provide with each and every shipment. These are exciting times in logistics and I am fortunate to be part of another great ride with a great company.”
