Newgistics’ VP of Sales David Marinkovich spoke today on the panel Raising the Awareness of the Importance of Reverse Logistics to a High Level in your Organization. The panelists offered their perspectives on how to get senior management to recognize the worth of reverse logistics to the company.
Thank you to everyone that came by our booth and attended the panel. We sincerely appreciate your time and enjoyed meeting you. If you missed us in Vegas, we hope to connect at our next stop–details to come.
It’s trade show season, and Newgistics’ next stop is the Reverse Logistics Association’s Conference & Expo in Las Vegas, February 11-14.
The RLA Conference & Expo is one of the largest shows of the year for Third Party Service Providers (3PSPs). It’s a prime opportunity for 3PSPs to raise awareness among retailers and brands the availability and effectiveness of reverse logistics solutions. RLA presents the perfect opportunity for our team to meet with supply chain professionals and demonstrate how we go beyond packing and moving parcels. With our technology, every order and return opens new opportunities to improve the shopping experience while increasing a retailer or brand’s efficiency. We’d love to meet you at booth #K14 if you’re looking for new ways to bring value to your enterprise through your supply chain logistics.
David Marinkovich, Newgistics’ VP Sales, is on the panel Raising the Awareness of the Importance of Reverse Logistics to a High Level in your Organization. The panel will seek to answer the question, “How do you get senior management to recognize the worth of reverse logistics to your company?” The panelists will represent several industries for a broad range of unique perspectives, and will be moderated by Bernie Schaeffer, Service, Sales & Operations Executive at Schaeffer Independent. The panel is scheduled for Thursday, February 14th at 11 a.m.
David T. Marinkovich, Vice President of Sales, joined Newgistics in 2011, bringing 20 years of experience in logistics and supply chain technology. He is an accomplished executive whose background includes leadership positions in sales, marketing and customer service. Prior to joining Newgistics, David held executive positions at companies including SmartMail, DHL Global Mail and—most recently—Tiger Logistics, where he served as vice president of business development.

We hope to see you at RLA!
