CargoNOW Appoints Tom O’Donnell as Executive Editor to Strengthen Practitioner-Led Industry Content

Singapore, 26 August 2026 — CargoNOW has appointed Tom O’Donnell, a senior global logistics executive and an LSCMS Executive Committee member, as Executive Editor, strengthening its commitment to delivering independent, practitioner-led insight to the logistics and supply chain community.

O’Donnell brings more than two decades of senior industry experience across global logistics and supply chain management. His career has included senior leadership positions with IBM, Dell, Apple and VF Corporation, where he has worked across global logistics, transportation, trade compliance and supply chain operations. His experience as a practitioner and particularly his perspective from the shipper and BCO community will bring a different dimension to CargoNOW’s editorial activities.

As Executive Editor, O’Donnell will help shape the magazines editorial strategy and content across its publications, digital platforms, industry commentary and thought-leadership initiatives, working closely with LSCMS and LogiSYM.

The appointment reflects a deliberate move by LSCMS to put experienced practitioners closer to the centre of the industry’s conversations.

Dr. Raymon Krishnan, President of LSCMS, said:

“Tom brings something extremely important to our editorial strategy: the perspective of someone who has actually managed complex global supply chains from inside major multinational organisations.

There is no shortage of supply chain content today. What is often missing is independent, informed and genuinely useful analysis from people who understand the operational realities behind the headlines.

Tom understands what supply chain leaders are dealing with because he has been in those roles himself. His appointment as Executive Editor will help us raise the quality, relevance and credibility of the conversations we have with our industry.”

O’Donnell has also been an active contributor to the LSCMS Shippers’ Council, a community of more than 120 shipper and supply chain professionals focused on collaboration, knowledge sharing and addressing real-world industry challenges. His appointment therefore strengthens LSCMS’ objective of ensuring that the voice of the shipper and practitioner remains central to its content and thought leadership.

Commenting on his new role, Tom O’Donnell said:

“I am pleased to take on the role of Executive Editor at CargoNOW. The supply chain industry is going through enormous change, but the quality of the conversation matters just as much as the technology and strategies we adopt.

We need more informed debate, more practitioner perspectives and a willingness to challenge some of the assumptions that have become accepted in our industry.

My objective as Executive Editor is to help create content that is relevant, thought-provoking and useful to the people actually managing supply chains every day.”

With more than 55,000 opt-in subscribers across its platforms, CargoNOW already provides LSCMS with a significant regional and international audience spanning shippers, logistics providers, ports, airports, airlines, technology companies and other supply chain stakeholders. The appointment of O’Donnell is intended to further strengthen that platform by ensuring CargoNOW’s editorial output remains independent, relevant and grounded in the realities of modern supply chain management.
