“Though we’ve grown exponentially in oil and gas, market dynamics continue to present more opportunities for GoExpedi’s innovative e-commerce platform to provide greater operational efficiencies and supply chain management support to all facets of the industry,” said Tim Neal, GoExpedi’s Chief Executive Officer. “However, we’re seeing a greater need beyond energy. That’s why we brought in Anthony, who has experience in generating business within energy technology and other sectors, to accelerate our growth in our existing verticals as well as new ones.”

“I’m looking forward to bringing my technical, business development and operational experiences and abilities to the impressive team at GoExpedi as they continue to propel energy into a new age as well as branch out into other sectors,” said Thomas. “From the executive management team to the functional groups across the company, we are relentlessly focused on engaging with new and existing customers as well as trusted vendors to not only have a deeper understanding of their needs but to also drive the strategic initiatives that will continue to set the procurement standard for oil and gas and beyond.”
