Large multinational logistics companies are seeing a steady outflow of senior talent to niche technology‐driven supply chain and logistics startups. Startups are primed for leveraging technology as they have significantly less overhead and less bureaucratic structures to overcome as they explore new service and product value propositions (Tipping and Kauschke 2016). Much of the logistics and supply chain disruption starting to happen has been led by agile companies, startups or not, who can utilize digital tools to bolster strategic investments in sales, marketing, and distribution, to more quickly and more effectively deliver value to their customer (Schwab 2015). Logistics companies have typically not attracted the most innovative, the most intellectual, nor the most technologically sophisticated talent, simply because they have not needed to as the industry required strong communication and relationship soft skills, some basic computer, and math hard skills and not much more to get where the industry is today.
