As CCO, she will continue to shape the company’s strategic direction and drive commercial success while maintaining a strong focus on serving our customers.
“I am incredibly proud of the team we’ve built and the culture we’ve cultivated here at Progility,” said Hossack. “I am eager to continue working closely with David and the rest of our leadership team to build upon our strong foundations and deliver exceptional value to our customers.”
