Greatwide Distribution Logistics Names New Senior Executive

June 21, 2007

Greatwide Logistics Services - a national provider of non-assetbased transportation and third party logistics - today announced that Kevin S. Wicks has joined the company's Greatwide Distribution Logistics business unit as vice president of business development.

With nearly 25 years of experience in the logistics profession, Wicks' career has focused on creating solutions to complex transportation and third-party (3PL) logistics challenges for a wide range of customers, such as Wal-Mart, Home Depot, JCPenney, Pier I, Neiman Marcus and The Bombay Company. In his new position, Wicks is leading Greatwide Distribution Logistics' sales organization, focusing on enhancing the value current customers receive from the company and expanding Greatwide's depth and breadth of service in the 3PL industry.

"During the past several months, we've been building our executive leadership, bringing new skill sets and perspectives to Greatwide Distribution Logistics," said Vin Gulisano, company president. "Bringing substantially greater value to the entire supply chain is the mandate of American manufacturing and retailing. I think Kevin has the leadership talent to help us do just that."

Wicks brings a wide range of experience and capabilities to his new position, including an extensive series of operational and leadership posts with Roadway Express. He also has worked at Kuehne and Nagel and, most recently, at New Breed Logistics.

"Greatwide Distribution Logistics provides a great environment in which to implement innovative ideas that would have been difficult to launch in smaller or more bureaucratic organizations," said Wicks. "Vin Gulisano has assembled an incredibly capable and experienced team of logistics professionals, and I'm looking forward to what we can accomplish, both for current customers and for companies seeking better solutions to their 3PL opportunities and challenges."

A member of the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals, Wicks served as chairman of the Retail track at the organization's 2006 annual conference. He has been involved in the Warehousing Education and Research Council (WERC) and has been an associate member of Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA). Wicks earned a bachelor of arts degree in economics and finance from the University of Arizona. In addition to his professional affiliations, Wicks is active in his church, involved in the Junior Achievement program and has served as both a board member and treasurer for the local school-based hockey club.
