The LogTech company InstaFreight is strengthening its management team with a Chief Financial Officer (CFO): Martin Leopold joins for the newly created position from the industry giant DHL Freight.

InstaFreight has set out to accelerate the digitization of European road freight transport and to build a leading digital logistics provider in Europe. I firmly believe in InstaFreight’s vision and am very much looking forward to this exciting challenge,” explains Martin Leopold the motives for his move. “I am convinced that we can both unlock further potential in our business model and quickly become profitable.”

Extraordinarily Fast Growth
“InstaFreight has grown extraordinarily fast in recent years. To maintain this momentum, we are strengthening our team this autumn with a highly respected manager in the industry. Martin Leopold will continue to write this success story together with the existing C-level team while also setting his own accents,” states Dirk Reich, Chairman of InstaFreight, regarding the new appointment.
