Nexterus Continues Strategic Growth by Adding Sales Execs Across the Country

New Freedom, PA. – March 16, 2023 – Nexterus, a world-class supply chain management and third-party logistics (3PL) services provider, announces an ongoing strategic initiative to grow the company with investments in the right people, processes, and technology. Nexterus wants to add seasoned sales executives nationwide to continue growing the national sales team as the company enters new markets and offers new services. Nexterus has already hired several new team players to handle sales in the Baltimore and Indianapolis areas.

“Nexterus is growing, and we need qualified sales executives to join our team to help with further growth and expansion,” says Chris Schramm, Director of Sales and Accounts at Nexterus. “While we have hired a few executives, we are looking to hire a few more who are capable of driving continued growth through amplified sales and go-to-market activities.”


To join the Nexterus team, sales executives must have the following:
• A hunter sales mentality to identify and connect with potential new customers.
• Experience with building and managing a robust sales pipeline of qualified leads.
• Experience presenting to C-level executives.
• The ability to win multiple pieces of business per month in the assigned territory, construct proposals and statements of work for prospective clients, and assist in onboarding new client engagements.

Most recently, Nexterus added Mark Luttrell as a Strategic Account Executive in Baltimore. Mark has over 15 years of experience in business development at technology companies. This is Mark’s first supply chain position, but his sales skills and excellent customer service will easily transfer to his new job at Nexterus.

Another executive that joined the team is Sarah Kelley as Account Executive in Indianapolis. Sarah is exceptional at expanding and maintaining business operations through excellent customer service. Previously, Sarah was an Account Manager at Paschall Logistics.

“Our extensive list of solutions for small to medium-sized businesses has fueled growth in our business,” adds Schramm. “We offer many supply chain and logistics solutions that can be used in various industries, combined with our 'Gold Standard' customer service, which sets us apart from the competition."

Nexterus has offices in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Indianapolis, and Houston and is looking to add to its sales team in those areas. The company plans to open sales offices in key markets in Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, and Salt Lake City. Nexterus will open offices on the west coast in later 2023 or early 2024, with plans for international expansion by 2025.

manufacturing job growth in US factories

Savills “cautiously optimistic” on future of U.S. manufacturing boom

The U.S. manufacturing sector has become an engine of new job creation over the past four years, thanks to a combination of federal incentives and mega-trends like nearshoring and the clean energy boom, according to the industrial real estate firm Savills.

While those manufacturing announcements have softened slightly from their 2022 high point, they remain historically elevated. And the sector’s growth outlook remains strong, regardless of the results of the November U.S. presidential election, the company said in its September “Savills Manufacturing Report.”

EDGE 2024 diversity educational session

Diversifying your supply chain beyond China to minimize risk

Jason Kra kicked off his presentation at the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) EDGE Conference on Tuesday morning with a question: “How do we use data in assessing what countries we should be investing in for future supply chain decisions?” As president of Li & Fung where he oversees the supply chain solutions company’s wholesale and distribution business in the U.S., Kra understands that many companies are looking for ways to assess risk in their supply chains and diversify their operations beyond China. To properly assess risk, however, you need quality data and a decision model, he said.

In January 2024, in addition to his full-time job, Kra joined American University’s Kogod School of Business as an adjunct professor of the school’s master’s program where he decided to find some answers to his above question about data.

warehouse problem medical triage strategy

Medical triage inspires warehouse process fixes

Turning around a failing warehouse operation demands a similar methodology to how emergency room doctors triage troubled patients at the hospital, a speaker said today in a session at the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP)’s EDGE Conference in Nashville.

There are many reasons that a warehouse might start to miss its targets, such as a sudden volume increase or a new IT system implementation gone wrong, said Adri McCaskill, general manager for iPlan’s Warehouse Management business unit. But whatever the cause, the basic rescue strategy is the same: “Just like medicine, you do triage,” she said. “The most life-threatening problem we try to solve first. And only then, once we’ve stopped the bleeding, we can move on.”
