Logic strengthens strategic leadership with seasoned logistics executive joining its Advisory Board.

Logic has announced the addition of David Beatson to its Advisory Board, marking a meaningful step forward in the company’s mission to advance its platform and expand its industry foresight.

At the ATL Partners retreat, Logic had the chance to build meaningful connections with members of their Executive Board, and one relationship in particular stood out with David Beatson. Beatson’s perspective, shaped by decades of leadership in logistics, perfectly aligned with what Logic is building. He saw not just a product, but a true platform.

Beatson brings over 39 years of transportation, freight forwarding, 3PL, and supply chain industry experience, giving Logic access to a deep well of operational and strategic insight across global logistics markets. He has served as CEO of Emery Worldwide (which was acquired by XPO) and Panalpina North America, Chairman and CEO of Circle International Group, and a trusted advisor to leading logistics platforms including ATL, Global Critical Logistics, and Pilot Freight Services. His cumulative board and executive experience, including tenure on the NASDAQ-listed PFSweb board and a strategic investment focus at MidOcean Partners, positions him to help Logic navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of intelligent automation, AI-driven logistics, and platform-based supply chain solutions.

“I’m thrilled to join the Logic Advisory Board at a moment when intelligent automation and AI-driven logistics are reshaping the future of global supply chains,” says Beatson. “Logic’s vision to affordably unify robotics, digital twins, and real-time orchestration aligns with the transformative evolution I’ve dedicated my career to — and I’m eager to contribute to the bold journey ahead.”

Beatson’s experience building and scaling multimodal logistics and technology-enabled delivery networks will inform Logic’s go-to-market strategy, partnerships, and product roadmap. Logic is proud to welcome him to the Advisory Board and anticipates that his insight will significantly enhance the company’s strategic direction and disciplined growth trajectory.
