John Hill

With over 30 years of experience in the transportation industry, John Hill began his career in 1980 with then Emery Worldwide at JFK Airport, ascending to various sales and operations positions, eventually becoming the Director of Sales for the East Coast.

He joined DHL in 1990 as Director of Sales for the Northeast and was also the USA business champion for DHL Asia. He left DHL in 1994 to join Pilot Air Freight, initially charged with leading Pilot’s national account program, an anomaly in domestic forwarding since most companies in the segment specialize in local accounts.
