We are proud of our responsibility to grow, protect and sustain our Legacy. As a 3rd party logistics solutions provider– we are in the People business. And our Executive Leadership team embraces Legacy’s core value of Servant Leadership as our true differentiator in the industry, allowing us to develop leaders across the company who help people, commerce and communities work better together.
Mike Glodziak embodies the key traits you would expect of a successful supply chain innovator: He is systems driven; growth minded; analytical and insightful.
And while systems and strategy are foundational components of his business acumen — which undoubtedly played a role in how he led Legacy to double in size the past five years through organic growth and acquisition — he also maintains laser focus on what he believes is the most important contributor to Legacy’s success.
“People are at the core of our business, and a big part of my leadership philosophy is an awareness that everyone must find a balance between the personal and the professional,” he said. “My goal is to always keep our stakeholders in mind, which includes our talented team, valued clients, and investor partners.”
Glodziak joined Legacy Supply Chain in 2013 after serving for almost a decade as president of Vitran Supply Chain Operations. Prior to that, he was a principal with Tompkins Associates, where he managed large supply chain re-engineering projects. All told, he brings four decades of logistics and leadership experience to Legacy, primarily dedicated to Fortune 1000 offshore sourcing companies.
“I’ve worked in Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, meaning I’ve seen the design and management perspective of the North American supply chain from pretty much every angle,” he said.
With an industrial engineering technology degree from Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario, Glodziak relies on a combination of his education and vast experience to innovate and implement creative logistics solutions — and identify opportunities for future expansion.
“I absolutely love the ever-changing dynamics, scale, and challenges of supply chain,” he said. “Early in my career, I knew this was the cornerstone of the economy, and since then I’ve committed myself to improving supply chain flows and reducing operating costs for customers.”
Glodziak is known to his colleagues as a hands-on executive who empowers leaders to own their area of the business. With 3,000-plus employees spread across 30+ distribution, fulfillment and transportation locations in the U.S. and Canada, he credits Legacy’s servant leader-driven culture as the driving force behind the North American 3PL’s strategic growth.
He also devotes himself to reflecting Legacy’s core values — financial stability, customer focus, being the best, servant leadership, integrity and making a difference — on a daily basis.
“To me, no one value takes precedence over the others; rather, it’s the balance of all six core values that inspires success.”
The concept of “balance” is a critical aspiration in the financial world.
And while it may be the principal indicator of financial health, Legacy Supply Chain’s CFO says it’s also essential in life.
“I’m happy to have achieved balance in work and life as much as possible,” he said. “I’m extremely proud of my kids, and I’m also happy to see the success of people I’ve mentored throughout my career.”
Mentorship and leadership seem to come naturally to Siclait, who began his career in banking — as many early-career executives with business and finance aspirations do. But the slight twist in his professional path came when he joined a notable 3PL and began learning about logistics.
“Ryder Systems was looking to revamp its credit processes,” he recalled of the global supply chain and transportation management company. He then spent 23 years as an executive there, serving in several financial leadership and accounting positions.
This exhaustive 3PL + finance background, combined with time spent at Dupre Logistics as its CFO, prepared him for his current role at Legacy Supply Chain.
“My goal here is to drive growth initiatives that are financially practical, analytical and data-driven,” he said, adding that he examines these through both a strategic and financial lens. “Legacy has a strong culture dedicated to teamwork. I’m surrounded by great people who are committed to the success of the company.”
Siclait, who holds an MBA and a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Florida International University, heads up the finance, human resources and technology groups across U.S. and Canadian business units in support of Legacy’s long-term growth strategy. He says leading with integrity is the key to his role.
“I always try to do the right thing and communicate openly with the team,” he said. “My professional philosophy is to give your best, and to treat everyone with respect.”
It may come as no surprise that the person responsible for leading Legacy Supply Chain’s Enterprise Sales Division believes in setting goals.
But you may be surprised to learn about Aaron Zofkie’s tenacious commitment to constantly raising the bar.
“My philosophy is certainly to set goals and achieve them,” he said. “But you don’t stop there. You set bigger goals and achieve those, then set even bigger goals and achieve those. Never stop setting goals, and constantly challenge yourself.”
Clearly, the philosophy works. Prior to building Legacy’s Enterprise Sales Division, Zofkie led Legacy’s Brokerage business on an impressive path of growth and service expansion. The results-oriented visionary drove Brokerage to nearly double in operation size and grow in revenue by almost 300% over three years.
“The key is to surround yourself with like-minded people that you can envision being even more successful than you are,” he said. “Provide them with the right tools and support, but get out of their way and let them be successful. Their success is your success.”
He’s now adapting this success equation to new opportunities, developing account relationships and expanding growth strategies in Legacy’s recently launched Enterprise Sales group.
Zofkie’s background includes extensive hands-on experience in start-ups, management and business leadership. In addition to 14 years committed to the logistics industry, he also worked in healthcare leadership for more than a decade. Throughout his career, he has successfully generated millions of dollars in revenue in extremely competitive industries by recognizing opportunities, increasing market presence and devising operational strategies that generate sustainable sales increases.
“I believe in the idea of outworking your competition,” said Zofkie, who holds a bachelor’s degree in finance from The Ohio State University. “Effort is the one thing that cannot be taught — effort has to come from within.”
The Enterprise Sales Division works closely with Legacy’s business units to offer right-sized third-party solutions for customers.
“Our focus is developing deeper, meaningful relationships that enable us to solve logistical problems for the market,” Zofkie said. “We have multiple business units that we can provide to a customer of all sizes — from a small, privately owned company to the largest companies in the world.”
One fall during college, Kyle Krug made a fateful decision: He applied for a seasonal job at UPS.
“Yes, I worked at UPS throwing boxes in a fulfillment hub during the peak holiday season,” he recalled. “Then after I graduated from college and spent five years in the casino marketing industry, I found my way back to the 3PL industry — this time, with a small/growing firm called Griffin Global Logistics.”
Perhaps “throwing boxes” — we’re sure gently yet efficiently, we should add — piqued his professional curiosity about the fulfillment industry.
“At Griffin, I became actively involved in operations, technology, process improvement, and business management functions that created a go-forward structure for growth,” said Krug, who holds a bachelor’s degree in supply chain and logistics management from the University of Nevada, Reno.
Just as his professional experience saw him learning and adapting in a wide-ranging scope of work, similarly, his current role as VP of Corporate Strategy & Marketing at Legacy Supply Chain Services allows him to play in many mission-critical sandboxes simultaneously. Krug now works at the high-traffic intersection of business development, sales, supply chain and corporate strategy, and communication.
“I joke that being a dot-connector is my one true superpower,” he said. “At all levels of the company, there are opportunities to be innovative and contribute above and beyond what’s listed in your job description, allowing you to add value for the company and its shareholders.”
In the almost two decades that Krug has been with the high-growth North American 3PL — he was retained when Griffin was acquired by Legacy — he has researched and implemented technology platforms, created support functions for automation, led operational task forces, and strategized acquisitions. And he did all this while also accelerating brand growth and developing sales pipelines.
“I’m inspired every day by Legacy’s obvious dedication to servant leadership,” he said. “A mindset where leaders are invested in the lives and careers of the people working for them is truly powerful.”
When you examine Pat Antonucci’s professional background, the numbers stand out: a sweeping 25-year career in logistics; successful implementation of customized supply chain solutions in 50-plus distribution and fulfillment sites throughout North America; almost 20 years serving the business goals of Legacy’s clients; and the ability to easily apply his professional skills in two countries, as the Canada native holds an L-1 visa and is frequently tapped to support key U.S. projects.
It’s safe to say Legacy Supply Chain’s VP of Canada Logistics benefits exponentially from this diverse, multi-national perspective.
“At Legacy, my focus is on the leadership and development of customized supply chain solutions to meet the evolving business demands of our clients,” he said. “This includes distribution, manufacturing, transportation, business metrics, finance, and reverse logistics. I believe in developing client solutions that are flexible and add value to our customer’s business.”
Antonucci joined Legacy in 2013, through the acquisition of Vitran Supply Chain. Prior to this, he was co-owner of DSL Logistics, a Canadian warehousing service provider to high-profile retailers that was acquired by Maersk Sealand in 2003.
In his current role, he is responsible for the distribution, fulfillment, and transportation management operations across four sites in Canada.
“One thing that sets Legacy apart is its ability to adapt to big or small clients with tailored solutions for every business,” he said.
“During my time here, I have managed and implemented both large- and small-scale projects, and some of my proudest contributions include the design and implementation of various warehouse management systems, automation, and labor management systems.”
The senior logistics professional specializes in end-to-end business solutions including project management, strategic planning, operations, and solution architecture.
“I’m proud to work at Legacy,” he said. “Our core values really do support personal and employee growth, and we’re able fulfill our community engagement mission while simultaneously providing world-class services.”
As more consumers buy goods online every year, leaders in eCommerce fulfillment must live and breathe innovation. After all, their job is to create enterprise-wide solutions that seamlessly connect their clients with the end-users who remotely purchase their goods — while simultaneously ensuring exceptional customer experiences, managing complex workflows, and tracking inventories at multiple locations.
If this sounds challenging, it is. But Michael Glover, Legacy Supply Chain’s VP of eCommerce Fulfillment, isn’t daunted. In fact, he’s inspired by the constant presence of change in an industry characterized by it.
“I’ve been involved with 15 mergers and acquisitions over the course of my career, which really has given me a unique range of business perspectives,” he said, noting that his last acquisition brought him to Legacy: He was formerly president of Direct Shot Distributing, which was acquired by Legacy in 2019 as part of its ongoing expansion in the North American high-volume e-commerce fulfillment market.
And Glover has since lead the strategic expansion of Legacy’s eCommerce Fulfillment network, serving Commerce and omni-channel customers across the U.S. and Canada.
“I’ve worked in the manufacturing, distribution, and fulfillment industries for more than 25 years,” he said, adding that he has served in leadership roles involving supply chain strategy, business development, service, and operations.
Glover holds a degree in business management from Indiana Wesleyan University. His first job out of college was with Sanyo, where he was promoted to lead the facility’s distribution center and worked his way up to VP of Sales Administration after more than a decade there.
He and his team are charged with enhancing Legacy’s current omni-channel supply chain offerings.
“My mission is to connect our clients and our operation’s team together to build successful and long-lasting partnerships,” Glover said. “We have an incredible team that is focused on mutual success of our clients and our company, and I’m here to support our customers and our teams so that we can all be successful.”
When you ask Brandon Feeler what drives him to succeed, his response can be encapsulated in two powerful words: entrepreneurial spirit.
“I’m an entrepreneur at heart, and have been able to apply the lessons I’ve learned in the business world to my role here at Legacy,” said Legacy’s VP of Strategic Account Operations. “The leadership at Legacy truly values an entrepreneurial approach to business. We believe in empowering each level in our organization to drive the results our customers expect.”
In his role, Feeler is the dedicated strategic lead for one of Legacy’s largest customers — a large-scale retailer for which Legacy operates multiple warehousing and fleet operations across the U.S. He is charged with solving complex logistics challenges and creating omnichannel solutions for the client’s dynamic supply chain, identifying operational improvement opportunities and ensuring profitable growth in their network.
“I really like the 3PL model because you get to experience so many different business philosophies with the customers you serve,” he said. “And at Legacy, we truly have talented employees on all levels in the organization. This is a great place to surround yourself with intelligent individuals who bring out your best while also challenging you to get better at what you do.”
The fact that Feeler embraces growth is evident when you consider that a position at Legacy Supply Chain was the first job he took after graduating with his associate degree in information technology from Indiana’s Ivy Tech in 2001. Since then, he has earned multiple promotions, each with greater responsibilities and leadership demands.
He is also committed to professional development, completing the Executive Leadership Program at Cornell University and earning certifications from Lean Six Sigma, Advance Operational Excellence and the U.S. Department of Labor/Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
“Working at Legacy is all about opportunity,” he said. “I’ve had the privilege of managing the supply chains of multiple Fortune 500 companies in North America, including global procurement responsibilities in Switzerland, Sweden, Germany and beyond. Here, you find proof that hard work and commitment to success truly yield results.”
Here’s a piece of logistics trivia: Each branch of the U.S. military has a dedicated contingent focused on supply chain and distribution operations. In the Army, that important function is served by the U.S. Army Quartermaster Corps.
And that is exactly where Dennis Walton, Legacy’s VP of U.S. Operations, learned the supply chain ropes — ensuring equipment and systems were available and functioning for soldiers on their critical missions.
“I began my career in U.S. Army logistics as a quartermaster,” he recalled, adding that he received his bachelor’s degree from Bryant University in business administration. “Then I went on to transportation and warehousing operations leadership at Frito-Lay.”
All told, Walton has 30 years of leadership experience in North American supply chain operations and consulting services, primarily serving Fortune 1000 companies. He joined Legacy Supply Chain in 2014, bringing with him expertise in dedicated warehousing and transportation operational performance, third party logistics services, and supply chain optimization.
“This is a fantastic group of dedicated supply chain professionals focused on continuous improvement,” he said of the North American 3PL. “Legacy’s culture, flexibility, and commitment to our customers sets us apart.”
During Walton’s expansive career, he has managed large supply chain re-engineering projects in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. He has developed scalable dynamic solutions to address numerous logistics challenges across a wide variety of industries — including food and beverage, appliances, chemical, paper, retail, automotive, healthcare, energy, consumer products and government.
He brings a consultative and collaborative approach to helping his customers plan and problem solve to get the most out of their supply chains.
“I enjoy the challenge of helping customers solve operational supply chain challenges,” Walton said. “Key to Legacy’s success is the fact that the company ensures our operators have the resources and support needed to provide amazing service and value to our customers.”
You’d expect Legacy Supply Chain’s VP of IT to talk extensively about autonomous robots, electronic data interchange solutions, and disruptive cloud-based technological advancements.
Jim Heidegger does all that — but throws in a helping dose of humanity.
“I believe in giving people the tools and freedom to be successful,” he said of his personal leadership philosophy.
“Tools” in Heidegger’s world take the form of software applications, information and infrastructure systems, enterprise-wide technology strategies, and customer-facing data solutions. During his 17-year tenure at Legacy, a few of his proudest accomplishments include leading the company’s deployment of the Manhattan SCALE WMS platform into the Microsoft Azure cloud — making Legacy the first company to do so — as well as deploying autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) from 6 River Systems in Legacy’s eCommerce fulfillment network.
But as head of a complex IT department, he also points to the importance of one of Legacy’s core values in helping him perform his job: servant leadership.
“At the beginning of my IT career, my boss exhibited servant leadership and was very successful,” he recalled. “That style of leadership really resonated with me, and Legacy shares that same value.”
Heidegger leads with a blend of tech acumen, supply chain operational expertise, and leadership skill that empowers his team to create leading-edge, cost-saving solutions for customers. Prior to joining Legacy, he spent two decades in supply chain technology roles for large 3PL providers and worked in IT for Fortune 50 and Fortune 500 companies.
Now he sees his role as serving as a strategic partner to all of Legacy’s business units, using technology to inspire connectivity both internally and externally with clients. He is as comfortable speaking to his team about day-to-day IT operations as he is speaking to attendees at global conferences like ProMat about the ROI of AMRs.
“As our industry continues to transform technologically, it’s inspiring to learn and talk about the latest applications that will continue to help us optimize our operation and provide us with a competitive advantage,” Heidegger said.
Many business professionals look at their cell phones as a necessary — albeit sometimes annoying — career tool.
Bryan McGinnis thinks of cell phones in a different light. Because without them, he may never have earned a front-row seat to a third-party logistics education — which would ultimately prepare him for a future as Legacy Supply Chain’s future VP of Human Resources.
“I took an HR job with a cell phone distributor, and I learned the 3PL business from there,” he recalled. “I learned a lot in that job, and I learned about an industry I would grow to love.”
McGinnis joined Legacy in 2022, bringing more than 22 years of human resources leadership experience in logistics, manufacturing and corporate environments. He has extensive experience working in global organizations, developing people-focused growth strategies that empower teams.
“My greatest successes have been in seeing people that used to work for me go on to have outstanding careers and elevate themselves to levels they never thought they could achieve,” he said. “My philosophy is to treat everyone with respect, which has served me well throughout my career.”
McGinnis received his degree in business from Michigan’s Ferris State University. Among his strengths: developing relationships across all levels of an organization to ensure alignment on strategic initiatives.
“From an HR perspective, it’s important to keep in mind that the people you get to work with are all pushing toward the same ultimate goal: success,” he said. “I work with a group of talented individuals at Legacy who are all working together to achieve success. The people at Legacy set it apart — from those on the floor that make sure customers are happy all the way to the CEO, this place is full of outstanding people.”
McGinnis is responsible for providing direction on HR best practices across Legacy’s entire culture. He believes people are the strongest link in the supply chain, and McGinnis develops and implements employee-focused initiatives that connect and grow the ever-expanding team.
“Our employees get to make a difference on a daily basis by having the autonomy and expectation to make decisions for the good of the company and for the people that work for Legacy.”
A glance through Althea Mothersill’s background paints the picture of a professional with an uncanny ability to distinguish herself in competitive environments.
She was named “Most Outstanding Student” from the graduating class of 2009 when she earned her MBA from University of Manchester – Caribbean Cohort. She received the Pinnacle Award for Accountant of the Year from former employer Sandals Resort. And she has spent more than two decades working in hospitality, banking and captive finance throughout the Caribbean and Canada, quickly rising through the ranks from analyst to management and beyond.
And in 2017, she joined Legacy Supply Chain as Assistant Controller, being promoted to Controller shortly thereafter.
“Legacy has an enriching company culture with abundant opportunities for growth and development,” she said. “Employees here are engaged and empowered and feel invested in their work because it speaks to their interests, and they know they make a difference.”
Mothersill’s deep well of knowledge in finance and analysis guide many of Legacy’s fiscal decisions, where she’s charged with leading highly skilled financial management teams to achieve overall corporate goals and objectives. Tools at their disposal include account management, forecasting and budgets, cost containment and reduction, efficiency improvements and regulatory compliance.
“My goal is to cultivate an atmosphere of collaboration, respect and trust in the pursuit of organizational and personal excellence,” she said. “These then translate into tangible results to both the top and bottom lines.”
Her proudest Legacy accomplishments to date include the successful restructuring of its Finance Division in Canada, contributing to acquisitions — including transitioning of finance personnel and accounting systems — and the successful migration and upgrade of corporate accounting systems.
“The two overarching values at Legacy that most resonate with me include servant leadership and making a difference,” she said. “Working here, there’s an opportunity to impact the lives of others, which may have a ripple effect well beyond yourself.”
