Our People Say

Hear From the CGN Team.

The best way to understand what it is like to work at CGN is to hear it from the people who do.

"

I joined CGN as a freight coordinator straight out of university. Within 18 months I was managing a full air freight lane into East Africa. The level of responsibility they gave me early on was unlike anything I had experienced at other companies.

The technology problems we are solving at CGN are genuinely hard. Connecting real-time shipment data across air, ocean, road, and rail at global scale is a complex engineering challenge. I came here to work on something that actually ships. I mean that literally.

I have worked in logistics my whole career and CGN is the first company where my background across multiple freight modes was an actual advantage. They value operational depth, and they build careers around people who have it.
