MacDonald brings over 20 years of broad financial leadership experience in global companies, including in the transportation industry. Most recently, he served as vice president of financial planning and analysis at XPO Logistics, where he played a key role in executing spinoffs of two business segments into publicly traded companies and built forecasting processes driving improvement in financial and operational performance.
