In this role, he led a global SAP implementation and dramatically improved operational processes supported by technology. More recently, Mr. Hankins established an IT consulting firm focused on providing high-end IT consulting and infrastructure management to small and medium-sized businesses, including applying the latest strategies to build flexible and expandable IT platforms, including cloud computing, business intelligence, GPS enabled technologies and IT enabled technology solutions.

 "I'm thrilled to join Globe Express and look forward to enhancing the IT and financial processes of this growing organization," Hankins said. "By expanding on our global footprint, adopting a One Company-One Team approach, focusing on our customers' needs, continuously innovating, and implementing a tight internal control environment and governance framework, I'm confident we'll be successful in taking this company to the next level."
