"Dale is a proven transformational leader and we are fortunate to have him join our dynamic A&R Global team. Dale's leadership will be critical in continuing to develop A&R's unique track-and-trace technology software that gives real-time visibility to our customer's supply chain as well as developing more robust multi-modal supply chain solutions," said Chris Ball, A&R's President of Global Logistics.
