Ryan Peterson

In 2013, just five years after nabbing his MBA from Columbia Business School, UC Berkeley grad Ryan Petersen founded Flexport, the platform for global logistics. Since then, Petersen and his team have worked to make global trade so easy that there is more of it. Now companies of all sizes, from emerging brands to Fortune 500s, use the outfit to move tens of billions of dollars worth of merchandise across more than 100 countries every year.
