Mary Murphy has over 20 years of experience in third party logistics. Her career launched in 1997 with American Backhaulers, a pioneer in the third party logistics space. By 2000, the company was acquired by C.H. Robinson Worldwide, a fortune 250 company. Mary led a top performing sales and operations center generating over $220 million annually. She then moved into a larger scale role, focused on strategic account alliance and development of internal structure to support highly influential clients. Her passion has always centered around bringing value to clients through customized solutions while nurturing and empowering her team to do the same. Mary has created many unique, effective solutions for complex shipper situations, many of which relied upon her to provide full outsource services.  In 2015, she started independent advisory services to private equity companies excited to invest in the booming logistics sector.  As demand grew, both from 3PLs and investors looking for strategic guidance, Mary partnered with Mike Meier to form Denairus.  She has held interim executive roles for two 3PLs experiencing tremendous growth.  She has helped bring companies to market as well as led company strategy post acquisition.

In addition to her dedication to logistics, Mary is the grateful mother of two active, young kids who mirror her love of travel and cooking.
