AUTOPSY REPORT

Raised $2.3B to digitize freight forwarding. Then the governance circus began: the board replaced Ryan Petersen with a former Amazon exec, who lasted 6 months before Petersen staged a comeback coup . Post-coup, Petersen laid off 20% of the company and pivoted strategy. Valuation cratered from $8B. The boxes keep moving, but nobody knows where this ship is headed.

DAMAGE: 600+ laid off
