FSA Logistix Announces Two New Key Executive Assignments

Jeff Potter Joins FSA Logistix as the New SVP of The Client Support Center and Dean Fink is promoted to SVP of Operations

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA: FSA Logistix CEO Steve Anderson announced two key leadership changes at the final mile logistics company today. “The quality of our leadership in every division is crucial to our ongoing success as we continue rapid growth in all areas of the company. To that end, I’m pleased to announce the addition of Jeff Potter as our new Senior Vice President of our Client Support Center in Weston, Florida and the promotion of Dean Fink to our Senior Vice President of Operations.”

Jeff Potter will be providing leadership for all administrative functions at the corporate office in Weston. This includes overseeing finance, accounting, administration, risk, compliance, and human resources.

Mr. Anderson said, “Jeff has a great opportunity to take our Client Support Center to the next level as his responsibilities will include finance, accounting, administration, risk, human resources and technology. This is the perfect time in the growth of our company to add Jeff’s talents to our leadership team.”

Prior to joining FSA Logistix Jeff served as Senior Director of Store Operations at Office Depot leading a cross functional team to maximize “The Store of the Future,” Office Depot’s new store concept. He served in other key roles during his tenure at Office Depot including Senior Director Retail of Sales and Services Strategy, and as one of the architects of new operational policies and procedures required during the Office Depot and OfficeMax merger. Prior to Office Depot, Jeff led OfficeMax’s “#1” strategic retail initiative. Jeff holds a B.S. in marketing from Stonehill College in Easton, MA.

“It’s a privilege to be part of such a fast growing company,” says Mr. Potter. “I look forward to bringing proven best practice strategies to my new role at FSA Logistix.”

“The promotion of Dean Fink to Senior Vice President of Operations at FSA Logistix is a natural progression,” says Steve Anderson. “Dean has been a proven leader in our operations since he first joined us in 2014.”

Dean joined FSA Logistix in March 2014 and in that same year became General Manager of the company’s Innovel business. In 2015 Dean was promoted to VP Operations. His new assignment as Senior Vice President of Operations expands his leadership responsibilities for the company over the company’s Innovel, General Electric, Best Buy and The Home Depot operations. Dean will provide leadership oversight to more than 40 FSA Logistix locations across the country.

Mr. Fink said, “Running geographically dispersed operations in several states can be challenging. But, the quality of our local operations teams makes my life easier and allows me to focus on strategy and taking care of our Clients.” Prior to joining FSA Logistix Dean spent 30 years in the LTL transportation industry working for both Roadway Express and YRC in local and regional roles managing businesses ranging from 10 to 110 truck operations. Dean holds a BS in Business Management from Clarion University.

FSA Logistix Founder and CEO Charles Annett To Become Executive Chairman in 2018

Steve Anderson To Take Over As President & CEO of FSA Logistix Effective January 1, 2018

FORT LAUDERDALE: FSA Logistix announced today that effective January 1, 2018 Charles Annett will become Executive Chairman and Steve Anderson will take over as President & CEO of the company.

This scheduled transition is part of a 5-year strategic plan that FSA Logistix leadership put in motion back in January 2014 when Mr. Anderson was hired as Chief Operating Officer. During this time FSA Logistix has grown at a compounded annual rate of +35% per year.

Mr. Annett said, “Since joining FSA Logistix, Steve has taken aggressive steps to ensure that we stay focused on meeting our 5-year plan objectives. He started by recruiting an operating team capable of growing the company at a 35% plus annual rate. We now have management on board that we’ve recruited from the Home Depot, Amazon, FedEx, YRC, Men’s Wearhouse, and Cardinal Logistics. Since coming on board, Steve has also added new products and services to meet the changing needs of our Clients.”

In addition to building a world-class management team, the company has grown through strategic acquisitions, notably the addition of Guiney Delivery Services in 2015. This acquisition added significant capacity for FSA Logistix in the Chicago and Denver markets.

FSA Logistix now operates 68 dedicated locations across the US in 28 states with a home office in Ft Lauderdale, FL and a Field office in Dallas TX.

“During the past 4 years the company has evolved thanks to some internal improvements that have helped support our rapid growth trajectory,” Steve Anderson said. “Specifically, the addition of a VP of Compliance, VP Finance & Administration, and numerous improvements in our core operation systems have enhanced our scalability. We continue refining our technology and ‘back office’ processes.”

Even though Mr. Annett retains majority ownership of FSA Logistix, he has been gradually dialing back his involvement in the day-to-day business operations. This move to Executive Chairman will enable him to devote more time to strategic matters facing the company as it moves to its next tier of growth.

Since FSA Logistix will continue to be a closely held corporation, the Board of Directors have approved this new officer position, and rather than have Board Committees, a new Executive team will be made up of the Executive Chairman, President & CEO, and Executive VP. They will meet weekly and direct long term growth strategy, assist in technology enhancements, review operations metrics and compliance, recommend improvements, and allocate financing for all approved projects.
