About Gil Smith
I’m a growth-driven sales leader with a passion for building high-performing teams, simplifying complex challenges, and delivering consistent results. With over three decades in the transportation and logistics industry, I’ve led everything from small business development efforts to large-scale sales operations—always with a focus on people, process, and performance.At my core, I’m a builder. Whether it’s creating a sales process from the ground up, developing future leaders, or unlocking new revenue streams, I thrive on turning vision into action. I’ve coached underperforming teams into top producers, scaled multi-million-dollar accounts with Fortune 500 clients, and built a culture where accountability, development, and camaraderie are how we win.My leadership style blends strategy with execution. I’m hands-on when it matters and empowering when it counts, with a track record of driving sustained growth and mentoring talent that moves the needle. I’m equally comfortable talking with frontline reps or collaborating with executive teams to drive high-level initiatives.Whether you\'re looking to build a world-class sales organization, optimize existing operations, or grow your network in logistics and transportation - I’m always open to connecting.
