ABOUT KATIE PALMER
I am a Senior Logistics Executive specializing in refrigerated, high-value, and perishable freight, with 13 years of proven performance in one of the most demanding sectors of the supply chain. I joined JEAR Logistics in 2013 as the company’s first female freight broker and have since built a long-standing, disciplined book of business anchored in precision, temperature integrity, and trust-based carrier and customer partnerships. I oversee the full lifecycle of every shipment under JEAR’s cradle-to-grave model, ensuring timing, compliance, cold-chain execution, and risk mitigation remain seamless and transparent. My work spans refrigerated operations, fraud-prevention protocols, high-value load oversight, and carrier relationship development, supported by more than a decade of consistent top-tier performance. My focus remains on strengthening cold-chain standards, advancing efficient and secure transportation strategies, and supporting the next generation of logistics professionals. I am committed to elevating women in logistics, expanding representation in a field where it has historically been limited, and setting a standard for reliability, equity, and long-term partnership in the supply chain.
