We are thrilled to announce Natalie Schick, Co-Founder and President of Alliance Logistix, as the winner of the 2023 SmartBroker of the Year award. This accolade celebrates freight brokers exemplifying the SmartBroker ethos of relentless improvement and growth over the past year.

A SmartBroker represents the vanguard of modern freight brokerages, employing cutting-edge logistics technology and innovative business practices. They are logistics mavens, utilizing technology to achieve operational excellence and forge strong relationships with their shippers and carriers. Above all, SmartBrokers are agents of change, embracing and driving the industry's transformation.

"Natalie's work at Alliance Logistix sets a new benchmark for today's freight brokers, and she is undoubtedly the most fitting choice for this award," said Bharath Krishnamoorthy, CEO and co-founder of Denim. "Natalie has led her team to remarkable growth and efficiency gains. Her efforts in streamlining operations and increasing volume while maintaining exceptional service standards are why we are excited to honor her with this award."
