Ohio-headquartered ODW Logistics has appointed industry veteran Troy Tibbetts as its Group President, effective 2 June 2025.
Tibbetts has more than 20 years’ transportation and logistics experience and, in his new role, he will be instrumental in driving ODW’s strategic growth across contract logistics, transportation management and supply chain innovation.
Tibbetts is the fourth Group President in ODW’s 54-year history, underscoring the company’s deliberate and strategic approach to leadership succession.
His appointment represents a significant milestone in advancing ODW’s long-term vision of providing scalable, technology-enabled logistics solutions to an expanding customer base.
As Group President, Tibbetts will work closely with ODW’s CEO and executive team to continue scaling the organisation’s national footprint and strengthening its integrated supply chain solutions.
“Troy’s extensive industry expertise and exceptional leadership in navigating complex challenges make him an ideal fit for ODW’s dynamic culture and ambitious growth plans,” said ODW CEO, John Ness.
“Having led at respected companies like Maersk, XPO, and STG Logistics, Troy brings a strategic vision and a proven ability to align high-performing teams with organisational goals, which perfectly complements ODW’s values and aspirations.”
He succeeds Ted Nikolai, who will take on a senior advisory role with ODW until the end of 2025, after which he will join ODW’s Board of Advisors.
“I’m honoured to join a company that not only delivers purpose-built logistics solutions but also lives its mission of fostering collective growth—for clients, associates, and communities,” said Tibbetts.
“ODW’s commitment to ‘Delivering the Difference’ through respect, trust, and teamwork resonates deeply with me.
“Their focus on continuous improvement and building strategic partnerships aligns with my own leadership philosophy.
“I’m excited to collaborate with the ODW team to advance our shared purpose and drive meaningful, sustainable growth together.”
