In the newly created role, Kosslyn will report directly to President and Chief Operating Officer, Keith Tholan, and lead the company’s global technology strategy, continuing to implement AIT’s existing program while accelerating the next generation of integrated digital, data, AI and customer-facing systems across the organization.
“With a history of delivering for companies at the center of global technology and innovation, Justin brings the kind of forward-looking perspective we believe can help AIT lead the next evolution of logistics,” Tholan said. “His experience building digital products and leading technical teams will complement the deep logistics, infrastructure, cybersecurity, data and AI expertise already within AIT as we create more connected, scalable and customer-focused tech solutions.”
According to Tholan, adding Kosslyn to the executive management team builds on AIT’s strong technology foundation and will strengthen the organization via a true digital transformation, one that unifies a vastly diverse array of shippers and partners across the globe.
“AIT has earned a reputation as a disruptor in the forwarding industry with our people-centric culture, entrepreneurial mindset and unique global strategy,” he added. “As technology, data and AI reshape logistics, we see an opportunity to build on that history by developing capabilities that help customers navigate complexity with greater clarity, speed and confidence. The vision for our next chapter is that technology will evolve to become a strategic differentiator for AIT, redefining how logistics services are delivered.”
Kosslyn arrives with more than 15 years of experience leading high-performing technical teams in the development and scaling of cutting-edge digital products. He recently served in senior leadership roles at Google, where he led product management for the company’s news ecosystem, overseeing widely used platforms such as Google Trends and Search Console.
Earlier in his career, he spent a decade at Google Jigsaw, developing tools to enhance digital and information security, including initiatives to mitigate threats from cyberattacks.
“Welcoming Justin to AIT reflects the kind of forward-looking strategy our team is known for,” Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Vaughn Moore said. “By hiring him into this new role, the company is positioned to further disrupt the industry by setting a new standard for logistics technology while continuing to deliver world-class supply chain solutions for our clients.”
At AIT, Kosslyn will focus on advancing the company’s technology enablement strategy, including the continued evolution of its global transportation management system, broader digital transformation efforts, and enterprise AI adoption that supports decision making, innovation and value for customers. His leadership is expected to help AIT strengthen alignment across its technology landscape while empowering teammates with tools that improve efficiency, connectivity, transparency and customer service.
“AIT has a real opportunity to use technology not just to improve how global logistics works, but to establish a new benchmark for the industry as a whole,” Kosslyn said. “I’m looking forward to collaborating with teams across the company to arm our organization and customers with practical, flexible digital solutions that deliver maximum impact.”
Kosslyn earned a Bachelor of Science in computer science from Yale University and lives in New York City.
