A seasoned sales leader with nearly 25 years of supply chain and
logistics experience, Salazar will oversee all marketing, business
development and sales functions. He will also be responsible for
increasing the company’s national reach by tapping into emerging
markets. Salazar comes to LYNX from SEKO Logistics, where he served
as Managing Director, overseeing the company’s freight forwarding
and warehouse operations in the San Francisco market. Prior to
SEKO, Salazar held sales management positions at DAVACO, Crane
Worldwide Logistics, CEVA Logistics and Eagle Global Logistics.
“I am beyond thrilled to have Shane join LYNX during such a
transformative time,” said Garcia. "His industry expertise,
extended network and ambitious nature will be invaluable in
delivering long-term sustainable growth. Our complimentary
skillsets will enable LYNX to become the gold standard for
high-value, high-touch business assets.”
Formerly a product design engineer in the medical device
industry, Garcia started LYNX after discovering a void in the
logistics sector – and a real opportunity – for collaboration
between a company’s manufacturing team and its logistics provider.
Pairing Garcia’s deep understanding of the medical device industry
with Salazar’s commercial background and growth mindset will enable
LYNX to evolve as a well-known and trusted national brand.
“I’ve known Francisco for many years, experiencing firsthand the
time and resources he’s invested to build LYNX into an incredible,
state-of-the-art logistics facility in Silicon Valley,” said
Salazar. “I couldn’t be more excited to partner with him to grow
our client base and expand our footprint nationally.”
