Hattiesburg, Miss. - Jones Logistics (JoLo), is proud to announce Ken Eggen's promotion to Executive Vice President of Asset Operations, and Anuj Davalbhakta's promotion to Vice President of Strategic Solutions.
Ken Eggen joined the JoLo team as Executive Vice President of Safety, Maintenance, and Assets in July of 2021. Prior to working with JoLo, Ken worked with organizations like JB Hunt, Lonestar Truck Group, and Roadrunner Transportation Systems.
“I have known Ken for over 15 years and have never met anyone that fits the Jones core values any better,” said Ken Brett, President of Dedicated Services at JoLo, when commenting on Ken’s progression with the company. “When it comes to problem-solving and strategic thinking, Ken is exactly what we need to take Jones to the next level.”
Anuj started his career at JoLo as Senior Director of Strategic Solutions in August of 2020. Altogether, Anuj brings over 15 years of experience to the table, having previously worked several engineering, procurement, and strategy positions within other well-known organizations like Tango Transport, USA Truck Inc., and Transplace.
“During his tenure [as Director of Strategic Solutions], Anuj worked very closely with Jones Transport in the pricing and design for multiple customers. Most recently he has taken on the added responsibility of pricing and design of Jones Logistics Dedicated opportunities,” commented Ken Brett. “When it comes to decision making, problem-solving, and timely delivery of all projects, Anuj exceeds all expectations.”
Over the past year, JoLo has experienced a great deal of growth on the brokerage and asset sides of the company. This growth has led to an influx of additional leadership and middle management roles within the company.
"We have experienced tremendous growth over the last several years, including this year. We are now over 500 employees strong and continue to make sure we have the right people in the right seats," commented Brian Haynes, CEO, on growth and management at JoLo. “Having the best leadership possible is one of our keys to success. Anuj and Ken have already done a fantastic job, and I can’t wait to see what else they accomplish.”
