Our expertise is rooted in optimized executional efficiency and crystal-clear communication of ideas and processes. We believe in providing services that supercharge the core hub of your supply chain and deliver the tools you need to evaluate and improve your workflows.
We're obsessed with opportunities to optimize supply chain processes, leverage a bit of tech innovation, and to get from 'today' to 'tomorrow' — better and faster. Let's face it, every business has unique opportunities for exponential improvement, and it's time to find yours.
We LOVE leading-edge technology...but we're keen to align first on clear goals and reimagined processes. We never lose sight of the basics: a fool with a tool is still a fool.

What You Need to Know
How We Work
We're not for everyone, but we might be for you. We'd love to talk if your organization checks even half of these boxes.
- We're ready to build, not just talk, about what's next for our organization.
- We know we need to change, but we're not sure where to begin.
- We have big, bold ideas...but we need to pressure-test them against industry realities.
- We need an honest-but-kind external voice, that will lay out the facts and tell us like it is.
- We learn by doing and welcome a guide on the side with domain expertise.

Before launching Cargo Exponential, his 25+ year career path included Maersk/SeaLand, Nascent, APS Technology Group (acquired by ABB and now part of Kalmar/Cargotech), Envase Technologies, Kleinschmidt Inc, and an active role in the Containerization & Intermodal Institute (CII). Allen has played a leadership role in commercial design, GTM, M&A, and global deployment of facilities and technology at strategic global locations, and he brings that experience to his clients.
Early influences included a fascination with model railroads and his father's work with the Penn Central railroad. Today, he combines that with a degree in Economics from The College of William & Mary in Virginia, an MBA from Duke University, a lifelong love for all things ocean shipping, crazy pickleball obsession as well as a deep desire to help client companies maximize their exponential potential.
