Seattle-based logistics technology startup Shipium Corp. is bolstering its leadership team after raising $27.5 million in April.
On Thursday, Shipium named Shilpa Tiwari as vice president of engineering and data science, Jason Kerner as senior vice president of sales engineering, and Brian Thom as vice president of sales.
"We're in full scale-up mode, and it's an exciting time at Shipium as demand for our platform across the retail industry is strong," Jason Murray, co-founder and CEO of Shipium, said in a news release. "Shilpa, Brian and Jason are fantastic additions to the team, and will do wonders to help us improve our products, scale customer acquisition and onboarding, and transform how our customers deliver a great shipping and shopping experience to consumers around the nation."
Tiwari spent more than two years at Microsoft Corp. before joining Shipium. She was a group engineering manager while at Microsoft, Shipium said. She was at Amazon as a senior manager of software development for more than a year before joining Microsoft, according to her LinkedIn page.
Kerner, meanwhile, spent more than six years at Chicago-based supply chain company Project44 before joining Shipium. According to Shipium, his title with Project44 was global vice president of solutions and value engineering, as well as global vice president of lab services.
Thom is joining Shipium from Seattle-based freight network startup Convoy, where he worked for six years, Shipium said. His most recent role with Convoy was head of revenue expansion.
Shipium, founded in 2019, says it helps retailers automate shipping decisions. On its website, the company advertises the ability to put inventory closer to likely buyers and make good on fast delivery promises.
Murray spent about 19 years at Amazon before founding Shipium, according to his LinkedIn page. His most recent role was vice president of retail systems and services. Mac Brown, co-founder and chief technology officer at Shipium, spent over seven years at Seattle-based e-commerce company Zulily. He was vice president of supply chain and fulfillment software at the company, his LinkedIn page says.
