Director of Corporate Talent Management and Development

Cowan Systems was founded by Joe Cowan and is the latest evolution of his father's business dating back to 1924. Cowan's recipe for success has always been its people. From the most courteous and professional drivers in the industry to Joe Cowan; management is everyone's responsibility. We share a simple management philosophy that is derived from the principles of entrepreneurship and accountability. It comes from knowing, "It's all about the service!". We understand our service is the foundation of who we are. We take great pride in who we are and what we do. To us, management is not a talking skill; it is a listening skill that allows us to understand the needs of everyone we do business with. Our management team consists of every individual at Cowan working together to exceed our customers' expectations. The experience of being in business for 90 years combined with a very fluid decision making process, allows Cowan to respond quickly and efficiently to everyone we service. Management is a belief that we can and we will provide the best partnerships in the industry.

More than 10 years of experience in logistics and supply chain industries identifying and implementing successful business process improvements through automation and standardization. Proven track record of significant organization cost reductions, increases in revenue and retention rates by establishing and sustaining relationships through effective and adaptive communication skills while empowering and incentivizing employees. Extensive managerial experience in business development, talent acquisition and development, compliance, contract negotiation, process improvement and data analytics related to the transportation side of supply chain management. What makes Cowan Systems unique is that we are first and foremost an asset based transportation provider with over 2,000 power units but also have a full service brokerage division. While we are certainly very customer focused and aim to provide the highest level of service possible we realize that we owe much of our success to our incredible employees. At Cowan Systems we don't just want to be your transportation provider. We want to be your transportation partner. A transportation partner that focuses on hiring the best in the industry, takes compliance and safety seriously and continuously monitors our transportation performance and holds customer and carrier satisfaction above anything else.
