Bio
Cory Granger
I was fortunate enough to have worked with Charlie over 3.5 years building Joyride's Boston operation from the ground up. Never before had I worked with somebody who could manage so many aspects of multiple projects simultaneously. Always able to cut through the noise and find a simple way to solve every problem, there is nobody I would trust more to handle a complex, fast-paced operation. Everything became simple as soon as Charlie got involved - a very rare trait that should not go unnoticed.
Pierre Gagnon
Charlie is an outstanding business manager able to combine leadership, respect and excellent customer service. Charlie will deliver top & bottom line growth on a P&L year after year. I was really fortunate to have him on my team.

Nov 2022 - Present
Heading up the Northeast Region within the Logistics Division of KSI. Responsible for the profitability & productivity of 12 Shipping centers from NH down to VA. Overseeing a staff of 100 hourly and salaried associates. Extensive travel is involved, as I believe a hands-on approach yields the best results, and within 6 months, I have turned the region around. Implemented easily defined and measurable KPIs, participated in realigning shipping territories, and reduced overall head count. Heading up the Northeast Region within the Logistics Division of KSI.
